  1. We would only accept to learn those things which fetched us marks.
  2. We’d go to for tuitions.
  3. We’d stop paying too much attention in class.

  5. We would just accept truths we don’t understand the reasoning behind

    And now the most important ones:

  6. There would be no further innovation or research in the world.
  7. Syllabuses would change to purposely inculcate a more research-oreinted study of subjects. (This would be a good thing achieved by the wrong means.)

The end doesn’t justify the means… ever.
