<p>^ and ^^ I appreciate the genuine responses.</p>

It is the kid’s interpretation that the professor “spends almost no time lecturing or teaching” because he/she views teaching solely from the perspective of the traditional lecture format. If the professor has alternative activities which have been proven successful at helping students learn the material, but do not fit into that traditional format, they can nonetheless be considered “teaching”. Isn’t the point for the students to learn the material? Or is the point to do “the traditional thing” no matter what?</p>
<p>Which would you choose for your child? A classroom where they used only the traditional educational practices, or a classroom where they used the results of large amounts of research in order to try to improve your kid’s chances of getting the best grasp of the subject at hand?</p>
<p>You’ve already answered that.</p>
