Our education system values rote memorization over actually learning something. So instead of teaching you how to use the periodic table, they teach you "The element of Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1" etc.

A few teachers who actually give a fuck will do both, but they are required to teach the test for funding. Because that's how they are graded.
