Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Output debug inforrmation to help with intermittent test

This test has been intermittently failing. I want to see the details of the lessons in the database to see if there are clues as to where they might come from.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Try fixing intermittent tests with different database
 cleaner strategy

The database cleaner documentation warns that using a different database connection breaks the ability to use the transaction strategy. I thought it's possible this might be the cause for the intermittent test if rake tasks use a different process or connection.

I've also added logging in the previous commit so even if this doesn't fix the issue we may have other clues next time.
