People who think education is about memorizing facts missed the point of their own education. If you actually take a moment and try to think critically about what you're learning, you'll realize that you're given the tools to succeed later on in life.

Testing your memorization of dates is only to get people to actually remember most of the dates so they will correctly remember history in the correct chronological order.
Same for learning words to learn a language.
These styoooopid small things are part of a bigger goal, but they are necessary (not for some people).

The dates in school dont help though when histroy is taught in sections about small groups mostly. They dont teach you about the hostory of america and how thing resulted in the next, they teach you that they landed a ship on 1620

What if this field of history study is pilgrims in Plymouth Rock? Then this date is necessary to have a correct idea of what happened when.
I can't defend history study, but maybe they combine this knowledge with history from Egypt and find out that the Afro-Americans were actually the first people to invent mathematics and that they built pyramid-spaceships.

Sorry, phrased the post poorly. Replace "argument" with "criticism".
