I learned this fact about the schools. Years ago I was helping my niece with her math homework. They wanted her to solve a problem using their methods I couldn’t figure out the problem using their methods. So I created my own methods to solve the math problems. When she was at school they said she got every problem correct. They asked her how she got them right she told them the methods I used they said she got it wrong because she didn’t use their methods. Instantly I knew that that they weren’t teaching how to solve problems but they were teaching how to follow blindly and not think on your own. ~ Jon Bender
