I said it before, any education before college is training. Seems like I hit a nerve, as I was downnvoted without explanation. We all went through school and high school, we all know they only want you to memorize the answers, no critical thinking allowed The teacher almost always acts like he is Moses coming down from Mount Sinai. That was my personal experience and everyone's I know.

I don't think I'm part of "we all," because I only started attending a proper school in high school, but that wasn't my experience at all. There were a lot of teachers who behaved differently and adhered to different teaching philosophies. I find it hard to believe you attended more schools and were exposed to less variety.

Well, I'm honesty happy that my experience and the experience of the people around me is not universal. Maybe our education system was crappy when I was a kid. You gave me hope.
