The system is the issue

The first problem in modern education is that they feed us so much information and then expect us to regurgitate it on a paper. In “real life” (I am referring to life outside of school) it has never happened to me that I needed to know in what year the 8th Canadian prime minister was elected. It is such a waste of time and a source of stress to have to study and learn by heart everything that we have seen in class when in “real life”, if we are asking ourselves questions, we can just look it up.
