Some of it I was probably explicitly taught, but if so I don't remember what!

I was never taught how to learn. Was a huge shock that British children were since I was only taught rote learning at school.

I don't think we were? At least I have no memory at all of that being a thing. But my long term memory is very poor.

The material was relatively heavy on writing and reading skills, which helps develop that, but it was still very example based.

My peers all knew how to learn and study . When I asked: Did you have to memorise things exactly? They said no.

How to learn is still something people have to figure out on their own, but the curriculum is maybe one that makes that easier

Of course. But the instructions might be pro or against exploring your own ideas and critically looking at stuff.

TBH I don't think any school system is *pro* critically looking at stuff. Some of them just stamp down on it more than others.

I never claimed such a stark thing. It's a spectrum. But you can say I'm from a disadvantage.

You're very contrarian and don't seem to see nuance when I express something from my background? Or just coincidence?

I always assume people use the principle of charity when we're talking but maybe you're assuming I'm disagreeing?
