    I just had sucky teachers. Most classes consisted of walking in, and the teacher making us copy some overheads, then do work in the textbook, then homework. The teacher didn’t really engage or teach us anything, just sat there on his phone

      In all reality the books should be enough for people to learn. Teachers don’t actually ‘teach’. They all just regurgitate info.

        That might be how you learn, but it certainly isn’t how everyone learns. Also, that’s just a shitty take on teachers.

        …if that’s the case, why do professors exist in this day and age with so many books? Why don’t we have a scholar system in reality if books should be enough for people to learn?

        Like, if you’ve ever had a good teacher before, they’re not JUST regurgitating info, they’re connecting it to the wider context that currently surrounds you, aka your daily lived life (at least in a lot of cases, I’m sure there are many flavors of what makes a teacher better than an info regurgitator, but this is a solid one that I personally know of)

        Teachers, while they may suck or not have the ability to be good for whatever reason, are not supposed to be just information spewing robots.
