Many schools depend upon regurgitated answers. I was fortunate as many of my 
classmates were Professors brats we were used for research subjects.  They 
emphised critical thinking. The other kids had standard testing.. At least they 
knew what to study for and the questions. 

A critical  thinking education is extremely  labor  intensive..  We were 
fortunate a lot of labor was supplied via student teachers learning how to 
create a learning  situation. The side arrest is all of us learned a great deal 
about educational  methods..   None of us ever became teachers.  
If your school teaches creative thinking.  In the US. Standardized  education 
has become the norm.

Children start using their creative and critical abilities at some point of
time , and Gabby , I think that is the correct thing. I was only refuting
Facil's observation that critical thinking is non-existent.
