At this discussion we talked about how students are basically just robots that are taught to memorize and retain information, while teachers barely put in any effort. Someone mentioned how it was kind of like a suppressed society, where none of the students could really show their creativity or express it in any way, since the teacher basically just lectures and does nothing else. The teacher doesn’t take time to make sure the kids understand, they just talk and make the students retain information. In my opinion, some kids are not good at memorization, so they may be labeled as “bad students”, however they just can’t memorize that well. We also talked about how teachers should try different teaching styles so they can figure out what works best for their specific class or specific student. If they put in the effort and really care about their students, the students are absolutely going to do well. But when some teachers just don’t care and lecture, then they can’t guarantee their students will succeed.
