They do have a point. School should be about learning and developing critical thinking skills rather than memorizing who the 30th president was.
I know my schooling had a ton of memorization. Funny to think about now that I know I have Aphantasia because I always excelled in math and science because they are less about memorization and more about learning a concept to apply.
They need to teach kids how to use AI. It's like people that won't let you use a calculator in math. "You aren't always going to have a calculator in your pocket"
I've always been a big supporter of open book/note tests
There is no reason I should be able to recite as much of the Canterbury Tales as I can.
