Nowadays, rote learning is taking place at schools

In my opinion it’s not true at all. In my experience with the private college’s children I could observe that the students used the rote learning to study, what means that if someone makes them do some exercise to apply their knowledge or if they forget some word, it gets difficult to reorganize their ideas to express the concept they are working.

I teach in a public college, and what I’ve mentioned doesn’t happen: the students barely read, and study less, so that makes them to reason out more and remember concepts taught in class.
