Can a Dolphin Walk on Land?: The Flaw of our System

   While doing this assignment I have noticed the major flaws of the education system today. Schools should start teaching students so they can learn the content and not just memorize it. This system of memorizing facts is not beneficial for students, because they are eventually going to forget it later. However, by implementing test taking over and over again, students feel like they have to know everything to get that good grade, so they start memorizing flashcards and notes. 

   Testing is used to asses how much a student has learned, but if a student receives a good grade on the test from pure memorization, than is that really learning? In addition, tests don't measure the altitude of someone's knowledge. Everyone has their different strengths and weaknesses and shouldn't be tested the same way. For example, if a dolphin, which is known to be the smartest marine animal, hypothetically is asked to walk on land, it won't be able to (unless Ursula changes its fins for feet), but that doesn't make the dolphin any less smart. This is where our education system is "wack" because testing everyone, who have their own unique traits, the same thing puts others at a disadvantage and some at an advantage. 

   School boards should start to change the way students' are being taught or else students will leave into the "real world" knowing nothing.
