I was in these classes, which is my point, the class with a lecture was enjoyable, and I still remember alot of the lectures 12 years later. I couldn't tell you one thing I learned in Biology. You seriously don't believe that the way subjects are taught, play a role in how much a student learns?? Why have teachers at all then?? Parents should just register with the state, the state can send them the subject matter, and the students can just do everything on their own. That would save the state billions of dollars.
