Not in my opinion. You have to understand why 2+2=4, not just memorize it.
? I am confused. This is a 'double fact' that kids are told to memorize.
Are you saying you are against this approach now?
Or did you just pick an example that happened to prove our point? Or are you saying we are still going to far by having any 'facts' memorized?

Kids used to be taught why 2 + 2 = 4. That was instilled in kindergarten/ 1st grade. It's not like the current crop of teachers have revolutionized everything.
But to completely nix memorization in favor of over analysis (bc that's basically what the new method is) - is counterproductive in my opinion. Common core is what education majors used to have to take as a course. Someone along the way decided that ALL kids should learn that way and only that way. The old way was never broken to begin with.
