Teacher, teaching

Let me talk about something irrelevant first. In the my early days, I also did this kind of writing exercise on different topics given by a teacher. Last time I didn't like that it, because I did not know what to write on those topics, because (I felt like?) most teachers do not understand their little young students. They have only rights or wrongs in mind, how do us we romantic& imaginative students get those monsters pleased?

Unfortunately I continuously meet teachers/professors/tutors of that kind. Half a year ago I took a course about strategy, guess how what our exam was like? basically we were asked to memorize all the theories and their corresponding theorists, and the exam questions are all like "what's XX's theory on organizational management? " "How does A affect B according to XX's model of...? "

If the intention of teaching and learning is to bear those that kind of knowledge in mind, is our the tuition we paid pay to school/uni too expensive high?

Maybe I should not scold on my teachers, because most of them have only learnt the knowledge but not how to teach. Such a sad thing.

The teacher I respect most is from my high school. She conducted a politically brain-washing course combined with economics and some basic philosophy, which every Chinese student has to pass (it was funny that although no one believed in that but we still have had to memorize the whole book); Of course I cannot remember what's in the textbook anymore, but my teacher's way of teaching is was just so impressive, the course content could be as dull as you imagine, but she can could just make it alive and vivid bring it to life. Besides, the most important thing is was that she loved her students and never discriminated on against those with low grades,. Not all of us liked this course, but no one hated it, and all of us liked her very much.

My teacher, Ms Ding also told us many things happening outside of the classroom, most of which were real life stories, no blah blah at all.
She treats her students like her friends, not silly people who need to gain knowledge and get a certificate.  She teaches by doing and behaving, if she wants us to be honest, she does not lie to us.
She never forces us, she will always tell us the importance of doing that something, if we don't like it, she will always be there listening to listen to us.

It is hard to find such a teacher nowadays, even harder in a university. They give lectures, they go; Most students want to graduate and get employed, that's all.
