And she said as much (the latter, not the former!). But then, that's the issue - whereas before, teachers had a straight path between ignorance and knowledge, they now must make a meandering, traipsy path through self esteem. Which okay, if you're a genius instructor with unlimited time, no problem. But there are more jolly old elves at the north pole than there are genius instructors with unlimited time.I don't think that teacher really understood the methodology of what she was trying to do. Teachers are now taught that the old models of teaching, "rote memorization" and "lecture" which are teacher-centric and focus on teaching rather than learning, are less desirable than student-centric approaches, which focuses on the students and relies on the teacher being there for motivation, focus and guidance.
