People forget almost everything from school? Shortly afterward, even? Wild.

Rarely tested but consistently found to be the case (at least in traditional schools adhering to a lecture-based format). An example, from: https://www.amazon.com/What-School-Could-Be-Inspiration/dp/069118061X/ …pic.twitter.com/BKmMFZscel

I don’t think it’s an indication of poor character that you fail to remember much once you’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the wrong thing for you

FWIW: Sufficiently bugged memory a feature. As someone who would probably get an A on 98% of all previous exams if re-administered today: if you were offering to double my RAM (or make it amenable to more types of info) for $5 million, I'd have financing lined up by tomorrow.

I think school gets way with "We're teaching you *how* to think!" far more often than is warranted, but to the extent one models working memory as amenable to exercise: "Be able to free-associate over these X,000 pages for a few months" not a thing working world values at zero.

What would you do differently? (Asked with a curious, non-challenging tone.)

Replace pointless rote memorisation with quick brief that xyz exists or general solutions to problem class exist with keywords and maybe exercises in recognising matching classes. Teach effective search techniques. Etc. Harder to test though

There are a very small number of people with exceptional recall abilities. iirc, they are rather unhappy because they cannot properly process the memory of negative events.
