Thanks for the submission, but this seems to be based too heavily on anecdotal evidence and speculation, to be necessarily taken as a fact.
The experiment occurred with one class in the early 1930's, and is being noted in a blog called: "Freedom to Learn: The roles of play and curiosity as foundations for learning." - I'm not trying to say that it's biased, but it's clear that the purpose of the blog is to showcase alternatives to normal teaching, and the information being given must be seen through that lens.
So, it's not even a new study that is scientifically demonstrating this information, it's a single situation from nearly 80 years ago, (when methods of teaching were different anyway.) It's not that it's unfactual, but it's just not factual enough to state one way or another that it even could be better.
It would probably be best-suited for sharing in a different subreddit. I apologize for the inconvenience.
