About this episode

The episode explores the concept of when learning occurs and the importance of motivation for both children and adults.

Joey is triggered by a guest to her school wondering when the "learning" would happen. What could she say to this visitor if she could go back in time? Ross might turn the question around to help make the point that adults also need interest, excitement, and motivation to learn. Mike is reminded of a Lillian Katz quote which points out we are often wasting time for most of our students when we think we are helping them learn. Tom points out that children are always learning. In the end, Joey gets the answer she needs. Now she just needs a time machine.
