Heisig story:

The idea of memorizing things is easily related to the schoolhouse; and since we have been at it for more than a hundred pages in this book, the idea that memorizing involves seeing things that are not really there should make it easy to put the two elements together.

Koohii stories:

1) [NooNoo] 25-4-2008(180): In a schoolhouse in class: 1) you see something on the blackboard, then 2) you memorize it.

2) [cerulean] 1-7-2008(82): You'll never memorize all the kanji by seeing them in a school house. You need Heisig and RtK!

3) [DrWarrior12] 20-8-2007(21): Imagine you had the ability to speed read like those people who claim they can read an entire book in like 10 minutes. Then everything you see in the schoolhouse can be memorized instantly - you'll never have to take notes again!

4) [mdspencer] 2-2-2009(15): When you are in the schoolhouse you must memorise what you see.

5) [Cirion] 20-7-2008(12): In the Heisig School of learning Kanji we memorize how to write the kanji by seeing a story in our minds.
