been thinking about how garbage and outdated modern education is. and this popped up in my head

I remember talking with my mother a few years ago about the differences in education between her day and mine, and the knowledge that the "Memorize the dates" was an actual technique used in her day is just horrifying.
I probably would've been turned off history entirely before I was even out of grade school if schools in my area still took that approach.
Instead we learned about broad concepts, and events were emphasized more than the date they occurred on. We got to learn about the Silent Trade in Western Africa and the structure of feudalism in Medieval Europe, not what day or year Henry CXXXVII ascended to the throne.
