    Teaching children to “memorize information and spit it back up on a test” will leave them utterly unprepared for our changing world, @LDH_ed says: https://stanford.io/2nImV55 pic.twitter.com/kEqhmgUvDl

        Memorizing multiplication/division, addition/subtraction tables and commonly misspelled words, for example, sure DO help children prepare for the future. First, it saves them tons of time when they’re doing school work, second it disciplines their minds for rational thought.

        UNDERSTANDING multiplication / division, addition/ subtraction allows students to progress in their mathematical learning. It's fine to commit facts to memory once concepts are well understood. But memorizing by rote has left us a mathphobic, quantitatively illiterate nation.

        My husband has been educating for over 20 years. He's seeing the results of this already- no sense of critical reasoning, not being able to write, and only wanting to learn what is "going to be on the test". You can thank standardized testing for that.

        Sounds like we will need to fundamentally rework the incentives and metrics that our current school system values.

        Actually any mathematics they need to use will have been discovered ages ago, and any science will be, if anything new at all, an incremental increase in what is already known.

        Learning from and within the real world around us shall play a much larger & prominent role, from kindergarten up to university and beyond. Can that be “easily“ tested & graded? Certainly not with the standards we have today. New forms of education emerging. cc @Bildung_Sachsen

        The UK education system having now gone back to an entirely exam basis means the schools are predominantly spending time teaching the kids how to pass the exam because all that matters to the schools is how good their results are at the end. Yet every child is different.
