Reply #10: The method of implementation is only peripheral.

[Squatch]

Given, my point is a superfluous one, albeit central to the argument that teachers can only attempt to do just that: teach. It takes individual students to make and act on the decision to learn.

Now, small classrooms, highly qualified teachers, non-threatening environments, etc. all contribute to students making the decision to learn, but when it comes to the actual act of learning, a student must, on his or her own individual level, decide to do so.

Therefore, her statement that "I feel I have to do learning on my own" is pointless, prima facie, since her "feeling" is confirmed by the central tenet of learning that I posted, above.

Man, I'm all hopped up on NyQuil from a shitty cold I have. What were we talking about again? :crazy:
