How does this school system compare to yours?

I remember questioning my 11th grade history teacher as to why we get multiple choice questions and he gave us a reason. Their mindset is that if questions are “fill in the blank” then students will only have to “remember” the answer and not really know it. But with multiple choice students will see multiple answers and if they really know it they’ll pick the correct answer. I think that’s completely backwards. That same teacher did give us a surprise fill in the blank quiz and nearly everyone failed miserably.
