There are thousands of different teaching strategies, not just one. Strategy depends on the subject, the age of the student and the best way to teach that particular student. Not everyone learns in the same way.
The computerized games that are designed to focus on the student getting the right answer to math problems or English spelling problems are better than the homework and quizzes used on me when I was in school.
I sent my daughter to a Cuban run private school so she would learn Spanish for three grades. That worked out okay, but the teacher was uncertified and had no clue about how to teach math. The school paid about half what public schools paid their teachers, I eventually learned. So it took a lot of effort to teach her math and she still isn't too good at it.
I wanted to take her out of that school in the second grade, but my ex did not want to let me do it. I let her teach my daughter math for a while, and eventually she came around.
