[1]12495169_672319766203827_1700358661551935598_n*(part of
   Common Core). It was somewhat when I was in elementary school
   (staying strictly to the text and not allowed to move from it
   without a good reason) but it's formalized now. It's good for
   academia training (and useful if one has to go to court in their
   lives for something and needs traceable evidence) yet it *can*
   limit lateral thinking severely and can wreck creativity
   entirely if pushed too hard.
   Why? In life, we're NOT always in court. We're NOT always in
   academia. Plus, if all knowledge was limited to what someone's
   done before, what new will arise?
