It is so important that students are learning that skills that will help them function in a would that will require them to be able to think for themselves and solve problems. With education, it is important that students are being taught about facts and academics, but if these students are not being taught life skills along with them then what is the points.

There is a huge focus on remembering acts rather than learning how to be a student, how to become a problem solver, and so on.
