You are absolutely correct on all points.  Since No Child Left Behind, schools have become even more of a "robot factory".  It is all about getting a child to memorize by rote so that they can spit it back out on a test.  Critical thinking skills are totally ignored in today's eductional environment.  We are turning out students who have memorized facts, but are completely unable to apply those facts to a real life situation in a creative and useful manner.  That is not education.
