Yes, I too have come to this realization too. I too hated memorising something as I didn't consider it an "intellectual" task. But you are right that it is a necessary part of education to train kids. Indeed, now when I look at some professions as an adult - like the Indian administrative services (civil service bureaucrats), doctors, lawyers etc - I understand why the ability and skill to learn some fact quickly and retain it in memory is highly valued in such professions.
- LegitShady 4y agoyou dont even need to go to administrators. i worked as a cashier in high school amd some items just never scanned. the ability to memorize the upc codes for those items improved my metrics a ton. when i studied engineering i also memorized commom values to speed up problem solving. I think everyone does it to some degree. Some deliberate practice while you're developing basic skills isn't a bad thing imho.
