摘要：Education is all about students! Pro or con? It depends on your outlook. Should students determine what the curriculum is and how a professor teaches a class? Absolutely not! Should the curriculum and a professor’s class organization and presentation be geared to maximize student learning? Absolutely! Consider the following: A very good friend assailed me a few years ago about how uncaring her daughter’s college professors were. “They have no concern for the students,” she said. Evidence for this was that in high school her daughter could take tests and turn in written assignments as many times as she wanted. Each time her teachers would correct the exam/work, give it back, and allow the student to study/correct the work, and do it again. College professors grade it the first time, so they don’t like the students. While there is something to be said about allowing a student to learn from his/her mistakes, to totally remove accountability for the student’s actions does not prepare them for the real world.
