Educating, and the decor

Not that education today is facing problems, and to alleviate issues of cost, comes the enturmação. Funny, that sounds like a joke, but will not to laugh but cry at the end, because what is the learning level of students? But the concern with education is not something of importance to our government, both nationally much less state, while a welfarism gives to schools, others see education as the point of losing their government.
But I come here to portray as is education in this country, our educational system is a joke, our students are not instructed to learn, but to decorate. Consider the mathematics classes (sorry teachers this area) but in the classroom learning to decorate the tables, decorating the mathematical formula and nothing but this, the student to spend the years should have good memory if not .. . we all know what happens. I do not mean that students should not learn the formulas or should not know the multiplication table, but the discipline of mathematics is nothing more than a thinking tool for the student, a learning tool of logic, but this is not what we see in his teaching, is nothing to memorize the formulas. It would be easier for student learning as the explanation of the thinker or mathematician has reached the determined mathematical formula, that would make the student understand how to get to solve the problem and not something accurate, and is thus given. I have always wondered why one plus one is two, is it even two, or is it something imposed by someone else? Of course it is logical that one plus one is two, but why?
Socrates, Greek philosopher, one of the best known, is in one of his most famous phrases a question of knowing: "I only know what I know nothing", which this philosopher has to say about this? You could have several thoughts on this phrase, but when I reflect that we know what others pass us, we do not know why we did not experience this object, we know is what others have for us and we decorate it as truth, decorate and forget, because if we learn, never forget, and if we learn to know something. But today I see that the philosopher is right, not upset with this teaching to learning but to memorize, we will know that we know nothing.
