A real teacher would give her points for original thinking.

Teachers don't teach to educate, they teach to the test.

If it's on the test you learn about it if it's not on the test you don't learn about it. This results in Americans who think that Australia is in Europe. Because the test never asks the question, they never learned the answer.

There is no room for original thought in that system. If one has the capacity for independent thought that's something they had despite education not because of it.

Teachers hate teaching to the test. I can't tell you how much they hate it and are forced to do it
