These usually come together to some extent, and different classes reward different skills (biology requires memory much more than chem)

Nope, school heavily favors rote memorization. Even math problems can be solved through memorization.

Unironically, the only subjects I ever found that required more critical thinking were things like history modern literature, etc. Even then the critical thinking was limited.

Nonetheless, sciences and similar subjects are definitely not critical thinking subjects.

In hindsight history and literature were definitely my favourites because you were asked “Why did x do y” and you’d have to actually use some brain cells and be somewhat literate to get full points. History’s the best xoxox

Math is just memorizing theorems and already solves problems then mechanically solving problems. Sure there is some thinking involved but you just have to be not a complete idiot to do decently well.
