# Idea Traditional schooling and education encourages a "one-model" thinking approach instead of [[many-model thinking]]. In schools, students are taught and required to identify the one correct model and to apply it correctly (e.g., apply Newton's first law, then second law, then third law). In real life, we need [[many-model thinking]], which, ironically, is often discouraged and frowned upon by educators because it makes assessment and evaluation difficult. Pragmatics get in the way of idealism. # References
