I would agree with you here. From my experience, schooling doesn't aim to teach critical thinking, or reading comprehension ad much as it should. The way tests and work are handled is more closely inline with memorization. Memorization doesn't help people break new ground, or help develop the tools to begin troubleshooting, and tackling new ideas and problems.

Memorization typically ally only helps with solving problems we already have answers to.
