I've always found the idea of examination a cheap way of deciding if a person is knowledgeable, and thought that those who cheat, in one way or another, are really playing a system (school/classroom education) that is in many way playing them.

There are some serious issues with our current assessment system. Why are we teaching students "skills" that are totally useless in the real world? How many of those memorized test questions are they going to remember 1 year after graduation? Or even 1 hour after taking the test? I think you're right that we should be teaching students how to best use their resources. We live in a world where resources are getting easier by the day to access. Why not use them? Memorization HAD its time and place. The world is different today. Thanks for putting it into perspective! Way to put it in perspective!

Today, technologies have brought tremendous changes to the learning concepts. One can easily find answers to the problems. Regardless of memorizing one should try to understand what is being taught.

Especially, "Why do we require memorization in school but not in the workplace?" Students are required to memorize certain information for tests, but in the real world when can a person not look up an answer for something? With all the technology in today's world, it's almost too easy to find the answers. I think the focus needs to be more geared towards the "how?" of problems instead of the "what?"

Seriously--something about this really made something click in my brain!
