MODERATORS
It's easier to verify rote memorization than actual understanding so naturally shitty schools focus on the former at the expense of the latter. Most American schools are shitty by academic standards.
You're not kidding. Public school in the city.
There were so many dumb things I had to memorize. Periodic table. Solar system moon and planets. Multiplication table.
Even worse is the people who see memory as intelligence because of that BS. I remember working at a office and the boss made Steve, the guy who knew 15 digits of Pi, his right hand man. Steve is currently still working there. Congrats Steve your superior memory apparently can't get you out of your deadend job.
Prepositions, anyone?
Aboard about above...
I always hated that they made us relearn the parts of speech every year in middle school and high school English. Surely by now it's sunk in, I thought.
But then the CHUDs started losing their minds about pronouns.
