documentation is the way in which they were educated. Too many of our
school systems teach students to memorize and regurgitate, rather than
understand and apply. The skill of taking a set of directions and
understanding the concepts behind it, rather than just memorizing the
steps, is much more difficult to grasp. And much harder to teach.

This is, I believe, why my kids stopped asking me for help with algebra
- they didn't want to listen to my explanation on how to do the process,
they just wanted to know how to get the answer to the problem in
question.
