Eh. It's kind of hard to say that if you've spent any time in Thailand. A few, yes. But the Thai educational system does its best *not* to encourage the expression of brilliance in the average youth. It is focused on rote memorization. As in, accept what you're told because it is what you were told. Do not use the word "why" even if it were to enhance your understanding. Do not think critically.
Memorization leads to the application of processes and that's why it's in place.
