over here, and about the allegory that is used (by better educators) to teach.

Because education is not about learning what date an event happened, or how to use a formula, or what chemical to mix with what other chemical to make something else. Education is- or is supposed to be- about understanding. About learning how to learn. About being able to recognize patterns in life, and use your understanding of what those patterns mean to draw conclusions, solve problems, change the world.
