Literally all knowledge and understanding requires memorization of some sort and the understanding of reality and prior information.
It is difficult to fathom the level of wrong in this comment.
Here's the thing people who lack knowledge, critical thinking and understanding about the how the world works. Still form opinions and makes decisions as if they did have that knowledge and understanding. Which negatively affects everyone else.
But is that what schools are teaching? When's the last time you heard of a school that prioritizes the way its students think and focuses on improving their reasoning and cognitive skills?
I'm not knocking memorization but it shouldn't be the main or only token by which learning is evaluated.
