Reply #242: You can listen [View All]

to hours of teachers without hearing a whisper of student interaction. It's called a lecture, and it happens in the most advanced schools.

If the only complaint that can be mustered against the teacher's words (besides their content) is that the class was too "one-sided", that complaint should be applied to quite a few more classes. One-sided teaching happens all the time, there is no problem with it.

It became an issue because of what the views were. If he was ranting about inclement weather, I doubt there would be really any problem. The teacher may not have engaged the students in discussion, but that in itself is a problem that only applies to teaching style used during 20 minutes of class. Are you really saying that teachers do not lecture for 20 minutes, or for 45 minutes, or for hours? They do so often. If he merely "fell short", in your view, in this regard (style of teaching), that is grounds for AT MOST a meeting, while a suspension is beyond preposterous.
