Something to consider...

Getting a proper education. Now there's a topic up for debate. I see what they are teaching in school and wonder several things. They teach to remember things that will be on the tests. Some seem relevant and some not too much. In any event, the emphasis seems to be on memorization... Some things may be retained but like most things, they will be forgotten over time. It would seem more relevant to teach how to, and where to find answers as questions arise. But there's no points for knowing where to find the answers verses memorizing the answers. Perhaps this is indeed a narrow viewpoint, but when memory falls short, I don't know as the final answer is greatly lacking.
