The point of education
The point of education should not be the memorization of true sentences or beliefs. Because what we thought was true may prove false, and we are now stuck with memories of falsehoods. The point of education should be good judgment. If you have good judgment you do not need to remember the good judgments of others because you have one yourself. Your knowledge is not a passive retrieval of memories, but an active judgment for what is true, good, beautiful and useful. It is the difference between being given a fish and fishing for yourself. The former makes you dependent on the fish giver; the latter makes you free.
