Classic teaching methods do not produce intelligent students, only students with a certain amount of knowledge. Failing to properly educate all of the people in your society to be intelligent leaves an abundance of unintelligent people to support unintelligent policies and to vote for other unintelligent people to govern your society, which will eventually weaken your society and possibly even lead to the destruction of it. Education is the path toward intelligence. However, education does not guarantee intelligence, because most educational systems are not structured in ways to train their students to be intelligent thinkers. People must learn to think intelligently for themselves, but most schools only teach their students what their students need to know in order to pass their exams and to ultimately graduate. Schools need to be reformed for the sake of the future, or else the world will continue to be run by educated people who lack the adequate intelligence to be making important decisions for the sake of others.
