The Difference Between Regurgitating and Synthesizing

For decades, our country has been teaching its students to repeat, memorize and follow the rules without question. A streamlined one-size-fits-all experience has replaced classical education; students have been robbed of learning critical thinking fundamentals. Instead of being encouraged to ask the "why" questions, students are told to accept everything at face value. This kind of thinking has resulted in an entire generation of journalists who publish clickbait from their beds instead of doing field reporting, medical professionals who treat science like religious dogma instead of a series of ever-changing discoveries, and teachers who can implement rules but are failing to inspire. So, in a world where the propaganda machine is stronger than ever, we decided to take a step back and uncover the difference between synthesizing and regurgitating information.
