24. Test Taking Is Why We're Going To Lose Our Competitiveness In The World
We're learning to take tests instead of learning the material. Everything becomes being able to answer a set number of questions in a short time period.

Real life works just the opposite. In real life, nothing is set. You have to adapt to changing criteria all of the time. You have to think of different solutions at the drop of a hat. Testing does not prepare you for that.
