Teachers are teaching the kids that it is okay to be creative, and they don't have to follow a strict set of requirements as long as they get the right answer.
I told you that what I needed to learn was what was required to pass the class, because it is important to learn that there are limits to someone being able to be creative when requirements are involved.
I mentioned the FDA, because methods, instructions, procedures, and specifications must all be approved, must meet GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards and that does not mean that people can do things whatever way is the easiest for them.
You also don't know how much time I waste, entertaining every little thing a younger employees can think of whenever they are given simple instructions, because they actually think they need to change everything to work better for them.
When I mentioned that mathematics is not all children learn in math class, that is because children learn from everything you do and every idea you teach them.
