positive reinforcement: when you talk about memorizing, testing, and then forgetting after, you make it sound so relatable to every student, and it really is! Its a lot like a printer if you think about it, you put paper it, send it a signal to print something, and it prints what information is given and waits for the next instructions to do the next task. in some ways this is like a student waiting to learn new info and totally forget about what they just learned, or in the case of the printer, what it had just printed.

Proposal feedback: The thesis is good and i understand what you are saying just make your sentences less wordy. maybe shorten them and create into new formed sentences.

A thought to consider- how then do teachers gauge progress if not for memorization and tracking through test-taking? Most teachers have people they report to. They have to show somehow that the students they are teaching are learning. I wonder if there is a way to track academic progress without rote memorization?
