You should go to school, not to learn by rote, that will be stale before you get across the stage for a diploma, but to learn how to learn for the rest of your life. Never, ever, let your curiosity go unanswered. Except maybe about gravity, which hasn't made it into the TOE despite 100+ years of trying by some 5 star minds. We don't even know its PV!
Take care and stay well folks.

Yeah. Good luck getting today's teachers to teach how to learn instead of how to memorize.
That's impossible. Checked juniors math books this week: they are full of descriptions what different kinds of hammers are around, but not a single line on what you use a hammer for. Just PITA.
