Why do people say “I’m learning through osmosis” and place their head on their book?

If these people were really learning ANYTHING..they’d know that that is physically impossible. At best it could be considered phagocytosis (engulfing foreign material and digesting it) but not osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a gradient through a semi permeable membrane.

Your book is not water. The brain..yes, is semi permeable, and yes..it is probably considered diffusion across a gradient, but no..not osmosis. Osmosis only involves water..not textbooks.

My Spanish teacher in High school always talks about a formally popular teaching method called the ‘Osmosis Method.’ She uses this reference when our book puts words that we don’t know in our reading assignments and expect us to figure it out. I think this is also applied when she talks in Spanish above our level and some people can figure it out. I’m not really sure if this answers your question…that’s just my experience with the word.

Wow. I didn’t understand a word of the following sentence:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a gradient through a semi permeable membrane.

So good luck getting any real answers.

that’s the funny thing most of these people weren’t really learning ANYTHING… our schools don’t really teach us anything anymore…

I mean listen to this one if my friend’s older sister passed high school just so the teacher could get rid of her, she didn’t do any work and what she did do she got most of it wrong but she has a high school diploma.

I think they stole that from a poster of Garfield. I remember it from Middle School I think.
