Cramming Creates More Harm than Good

Imagine studying the biological examination. There are ten chapters. Please imagine opening a textbook for the first time on the night before the exam. Imagine browsing pages and keeping all the information while trying to keep at least 9 hours of sleep. The truth is that this is almost impossible. One night, the brain was unable to recall chapter 10 of precious information. Nevertheless I do not have enough time to learn ten chapters overnight while taking 9 hours of sleep.

Filling in the test is a short-term solution. Information that students fill in at night is stored in short term memory and can be accessed in a short period of time (such as the next day's test). However, it does not create a permanent neural relationship with the material nor does it provide a deep understanding. Students can get good grades in the exam, but this knowledge is quickly forgotten - usually within the next few days as soon as possible

Education is primarily a process for transferring knowledge from one generation to another and the formal education as that special department is actually better than hurting in fact. Despite infinite enthusiastic practice and practice, formal education itself does not mean that the classroom is crowded with numerous students to train and pursue mostly high scores. From the historical point of view, it is recent official education that attracted our attention, more people not only their own lives, more specifically, more people will refine their ideas and believe in their abilities It can only make you awake. For example, formal education in mathematics does not refer to problems in textbooks, but teaches people to travel in an abstract world with their own thoughts.

Let's say that our educational system lives in a world where gravel is more important than GPA. Resources about witness rather than parents. About the ability to create rather than individual instruction. Do young people aspire to make the world a better place or just to follow their parents' footprints to 1%? In that world, I saw a graduate from Harvard University preparatory school and asked "Do you want to know if he has been to the positive action initiative of the school's" rich children "? He truly has the courage to belong here. ""
