The Guy in the Red Shoes

If no one in class is learning anything from a specific teacher there is something wrong. It either means the teacher should consider changing his/her teaching technique or all/most of the students are stupid. It’s obviously not the students, there is no such thing as a stupid student. Everyone is different, thus every person’s ability to learn is different. In the video the young man tells the teacher, “If you would just, get up and teach ‘em instead of giving ‘em a freaking packet.” Packets. She, the teacher, the instructor, it becomes obvious she is not really interested in teaching those kids.  If you look at the graph on the right hand side you can see that statistically most people can only remember 10 percent of what they read.  Clearly not all people/students learn from reading. I am one of them. In the past I have had teachers that teach using packets, but I never really learned anything.  All it does is refreshed anything I know but simply forgot, but most likely nothing new. It becomes more and more obvious that the teacher isn’t really interested in teaching the students anything when the y teach off of packets.
