From what I have seen, the education system in California is but a factory. No real learning is occurring. There is little to nothing natural about it. Students are feed information by their instructors and regurgitate the answers to them. If the student's word vomit is near equal to what the instructor had feed them, a student passes and is now learned. What if the student forgets the information once the term is over? Is he/she is still learned or have they reverted back to the state of unlearned? Next, did the academic system foresee this phenomenon or was it invented by the learners?
I can state from personal experience that the conventional education process actually limits, if not destroys, creativity. While studying or completing an assignment I need to make a choice. I can either be creative or complete the task correctly. There is very little room to do both. If I choose to correctly complete the task, which tends to be narrow in scope, I cannot be very creative as I can go out of the scope.
