In my experience, and mostly in elementary school, I got factual questions in almost every subject. We were supposed to answer questions that were made up of the exact same words as the titles of the paragraphs in textbooks. We didn't have to think much but to find the right answer in the book and copy it, maybe changing some words. During secondary school, some things changed but we still got factual questions which I don't remember much. I guess it also has to do with the fact that we did homework and studied to pass tests. Not many things were introduced as useful in class but as things we had to learn because we were supposed to. Because of the curricula. I believe that what this woman proposes is really interesting. Things can be changed, and I agree it's not easy at all. But, little by little, differences can be made.
