What IS a lesson?
One of the problems with present-day educational practices that still reflect 18th century principles, is that young learners have "lessons" in school, when the more accurate description would be that they have "planned periods of their precious time where they feel incredibly disinterested and demotivated".
How can an event in our life be considered a "lesson" if it does not move us - mentally, emotionally, physically, and/or socially - especially when we are referring to instructional periods in school?!
Anyone who remembers meaningful experiences of their life has gained "lessons" from those experiences, exactly because they were moving and memorable, and it is easier for them to explain what was the point of those experiences.
In the example I give in this post's images, the theater performance the students watched was an impactful experience (I was there to witness it), therefore a good lesson for them.
