Just my opinion, but maybe schools and universities need to stop getting students to memorize lots of facts, figures, etc and then regurgitate it on pages.

Maybe instead we should do things like show understanding of learning. Have a discussion with the students and have them demonstrate applied/practical knowledge.

(I'm sure someone is going to comment saying that they already do this or whatever, but I'm talking about the general concept of standardized testing, still hugely pervasive. It's deprecated. No one needs to spend time learning off anything they can easily look up on their phone. Instead they should be learning how to take knowledge and apply it)
