mostly in schools there's no understanding whatsoever: to the contrary, students have to REMEMBER what the teacher provided as a valid understanding.

Fortunately, no, not necessarily: not in the schools I have been to. In the schools of my youth, you had to understand the taught, not just remember it. Students were evaluated for how well they had processed the information, for their mastery in its "handling".
