Could Yeerks be Used for Education/Learning?

[Phoenix004]

I think so, the yeerk could teach more efficiently than any teacher.

Almost definitely, but that still doesn't mean that the host will be able to understand the Yeerk.

I remember reading in one of the books that not only does the yeerk have full access of the host's memories etc. but the host has access to the yeerks memories...

So imagine using yeerks for education purposes. Put a yeerk in... lets say a English speaking person. Then put it in a Spanish speaking person, who the Spanish speaker learn English since the yeerk would know English?


Edit:
And if it applies to language couldn't it also apply for anything else such as fighting skills, or being able to pilot a plan, or drive a car?

there was only twice i can remember this happening, once is when jake was infested and he was starving the yeerk, and the other time i believe was when the yeerk got addicted to instant oatmeal and was stuck in the head permanently, in either case, the yeerk would only be able to do it once, though if the yeerk had several hosts and then got starved it could work.

Yeerks stupid at the beginning!!????? What are you talking about!! W... they aren't stupid!! Intelligence and knowledge are totally different things. Yeerks have intelligence from the beginning, but they gain a lot of knowledge, maybe the most part, through their hosts.

Yeerks could be used as an alternative for school, but the host would have to have the will power to access the Yeerks memories. Given that the Yeerk is resisting.

then once the "student" has absorbed what knowledge s/he wanted, there's no guarantee the Yeerk will leave the host.
