I completely disagree with this article, which says we need more rote learning and we should "make girls practise math". If someone doesn't enjoy math then what if rote learning and "practice" makes them utterly hate it? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/07/opinion/stem-girls-math-practice.html …

I think music and tennis are great comparison points. Yes, being great at math need some not so pleasant effort at times -- but rewarding ones. We should strike for student to *want* to make the effort they need, which needs them to get something tangible and pleasant out of it.

Overall, I am reluctant toward the universal gamification of school; but being wary of gamification does not mean dismissing the pleasure that one can take in learning.
