A four-panel comic. Top-left panel: a blonde woman declares, "Kids should focus on memorizing in school! They just need to know stuff, and the rest is easy!" Top-right panel: a brown-haired woman declares the opposite, "Kids should focus on creativity in school! Too much information will crush their spirits!" The bottom two panels contrast the supposed outcomes: bottom-left shows a glum person riding a small scooter past drab gray houses (the memorization path), while bottom-right shows a grinning person joyfully tearing through a grassy field in a big red truck, arm out the window, yelling "Wooh!" (the creativity path). Votey (bonus panel): a rough sketch-style scene where a bespectacled figure says "So, you advise..." and the answer in a speech balloon is "Learning to draw dirty jokes" — the cartoonist's self-deprecating conclusion about which path he took.
