Burp-Back education

I 100% agree with Dr. Strange about the issue of burp-back education. Students do not learn skills or facts for life; they learn how to memorize information in their short term memory instead of their long term memory. I believe that students need to think for themselves and discover how to learn things for the future. If a student can gain this skill, they will be lifelong learners and wise beyond their years. Students will be able to be critical thinkers with their own perspectives on issues not just what a teacher states is the "right" opinion. Dr. Strange's view on burp-back education should be read by every new and future teacher so that we may break the cycle and teach leaders not followers.
