I read your comments with anguish. You are absolutely right. The tests need to be changed. The tests should have questions like: Write three questions you would ask the two Georges about the revolution: George Washington and King George III. Marks would be given on the ability to ask questions -- if marks have to be given at all. Real teaching is subversive. The students will learn more from the model of a human being you present than from the content of their courses. That's the real challenge. Whoops, just spent the last hour looking back on Ivan Illich's work and thought, particularly Deschooling Society (1970).
