I wholeheartedly agree with his message. I always feel like school is nothing more than a never-ending cycle of learning the tricks to pass the next exam, rather than learning the actual subject.

Exams aren't a good way to asses the intelligence of a child anyway. I mean you need only look at the worldwide leaderboards of national education systems to see that. Finland, a country where all students only take one standardised test in the entirety of school, is currently ranked as the top system in the world. That says it all really, doesn't it?
