I definitely see the use of understanding various ideas and concepts. However, learning facts is of much greater importance to people than knowing about ideas and concepts.

Because schools place and emphasis on learning facts, students must do so in order to do well at school. A comprehensive knowledge of facts will enable students to pass their exams and get high grades, thereby improving their futures. My chemistry teacher is constantly having us memorize the characteristics of the different elements. We have to repeat these facts on our tests, or else we will do poorly. Knowing the concepts in my classes is much less crucial than being able to repeat facts.

Knowing facts is of much greater importance than understanding ideas and concepts in the working world. Possessing knowledge of lots of facts is therefore one way for people to excel at their jobs. My aunt works at a large company, and she is constantly attending meeting where she has to talk about different products. She knows everything there is to know about them, and she can discuss the products without using any notes at these meetings. Her comprehensive knowledge has impressed her bosses, who recently gave her a promotion for her outstanding work. Clearly, knowing a lot of facts on the job can be of tremendous help.

A person who has and encyclopedic knowledge of various topics will be respected and admired by many people. Possessing a lot of factual knowledge can help one impress people, which can work to a person's advantage. Some people refer to my cousin as a “walking encyclopedia.” Whenever people want to know the answer to a question on virtually any topic, he always seems to know the answer. He has won many trivia contests and even runs a successful tutoring business. Learning facts can help a person lead a very successful life.

In conclusion, people should focus on improving their factual knowledge as it can help them in school, at their jobs, and in their lives in general. A complete understanding of ideas and concepts is fine, but more emphasis should be placed on learning facts.
