"Imagine my Moral teacher forcing me to memorise all the 16 "Moral Values" + 64 "Sub Values" and their definition in two months"
This line really saddens me. I have no idea what kind of lectures this is, but I'm pretty sure that you can't 'define' moral.
Moral is a subjective thing. In nazi-germany it was moral to slaughter jews. Nowadays killing is completely immoral, though some hundred years ago it was a part of life.
So, trying to define "16 moral values" is just stupid. What if I happen to have 17 moral values? Who are you to stop me? This kind of thinking really offends me.
Moral classes should have been discussions that we can learn from ourselves. Shovelling pre-made definitions down our throats aren't going to learn us anything. Any form of "memorizing" isn't going to learn us anything, because the important parts lies in the understanding of a subject. For instance, a person who have a deep enough knowledge about moral would be able to reason him/herself to those definitions about moral without having any knowledge about them. Like the person who made those definitions you had to learn probably did.
I don't like the way my own school is teaching either but at least it's not this bad.
About grades...I try not to think about them too much. If I get low grades in something it is because I'm not interested in it, and in that case getting good grades in it would not be all that moral, since I would show interest in something I'm not interested in. I think it is fun to have an understanding of something, but if I have to memorize something I don't see the point in memorizing then what is really the point?
History is a good example. You can remember all the dates you want to but it doesn't matter as long as you can't see the broad picture and see how history repeats itself, even today. We aren't very different from other culures previously in time. Still, remembering those dates will in a badly designed course give you high grades. People who only try to remember dates and don't care about understanding should get the lowest possible grades possible...we don't need people like that, it's just to open a lexicon. On the other hand, a lexicon can't tell us where the world is heading and why.
Sorry for going off like that, not sure what happened
