In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that numbers have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect calculators to break down every time they note the number 13, and for another, although every week has seven days we know that not every week is lucky for us.

Most likely the second one because he would learn from his environment, from his parents, from the books he read, from TV, and from private study.
Both history and common sense suggest , therefore, that the greatest source of useful , practical knowledge comes from outside the school What we get in a classroom is only a small part of that total , but of a specialized and abstract nature.

If we look at the beginning of civilization ,for example ,we win note that people back then did not have formal classrooms yet many of them were well informed. There were no classrooms to teach the first men how to plant or how to build huts. The great early poets of the first and second centuries didn`t learn their poems in a classr
