I think we need to start moving from parrot-rote learning to teaching how to think for oneself and solve things for oneself. Discussions about how one sees things, what one thinks is a possibility. Oh, not in math as those have very concrete answers, but how to get to those answers and go beyond. Curiosity, investigation, puzzling things out, thinking outside the box to find the solution or solutions. Make learning fun, a game; not to be won or lost but be solved. To stretch the mind, explore the boundaries of what's possible...
What could we achieve if there were no multiple choice, this is 'right' this is 'wrong'; thinking beyond what we 'know' is possible...
And that's My 25 cents...
