I think the most damaging thing I learned in school was that the “right answer” would always be something I had been specifically taught that didn’t require all that much thinking for myself. Wtf. I consciously unlearned it in college, but subconsciously I’m still not sure...https://twitter.com/William_Blake/status/1203348802679083008 …

I expect I would see a strong correlation between tests scores as a kid and understanding of the subject now. But it’s tough because longterm understanding and test scores would be correlated even if “deep understanding at the time” weren’t an important causal variable.

Oh yeah definitely. Some of this is that the sort of person who Actually Learns will do well to the test, some of this is that the sort of person who just wants to do well enough in class to not have to worry about it probably won't bother with straight As.

And then I do well enough in the class despite barely knowing the material, because I never bothered to actually learn it. But this is an unusual method for me and I don't like it, I much prefer classes that I learn things in.
