I think the names "knowledge-rich" or "knowledge-based" curriculum (as opposed to "skills-based") are an atrocious branding blunder, suggesting a mindless, Gradgrindian chanting of facts. As @stephenkb.bsky.social says, manipulating knowledge helps you develop broadly applicable skills.

Well my fav that we were sure was just a rumor that turned out to be true was that the band was trying to book a run of shows in China in 1987. Seemed absurd. Once people got accessto the business records it turns out to have been a real attempt, though it seemingly didn't get far
