School made me memorize stuff instead of actually learning

Sometimes I feel like school focused way too much on memorizing things for tests instead of understanding how stuff works in real life.

I can barely remember half the things I studied, but the things I learned on my own out of interest actually stayed with me. Kinda strange when you think about it.

Not saying school is useless, just feels like the system could be way better sometimes.
