Off topic, but I remember in China, they made us memorize AN ENTIRE FUCKING STORY exact word for word, don't remember what story it was (btw, great job teachers, bet none of the kids still remember this useless shit) probably because its some "classic literature" or whatever.
That's when I just know these ancient philosophers is just BS. Philosophy aint gonna pay for food, lmfao.
Memorizing things word for word is the best way to make kids hate literature.
It's probably a good or at least historically important work but you will forever hate it because of the way you were taught.
Ah, brings me back to the days of memorizing Bible verses word-for-word. I don't remember any of them now. And I was such a good little student then too!
When my father was a kid they made him memorize the opening of the First Catilinarian. This was in Spanish. One time when he was particularly annoyed with me he was like: "When, Sergio, do you intend to stop testing my patience...?!"
