Going through school, I always got good grades, perhaps because I had a decent memory. Still, I reject the notion that rote memorization is the best way to Teach young people the facts of life, or Teach them how to of think, a skill which is needed in everything they do, whereas the information they garner from a particular class or subject may never be used, or only in certain areas of the human endeavor, or perhaps at their job. I would like to discuss With you the importance of teaching kids to think.
