<p>It’s funny - the classroom discussion seems to only favour females when it’s touchy-feely, giving free rein to the students. Law school is all discussion, but no one says that Socratic caters to the female learning style. That’s because you can (and should) expect that everything you say will be either challenged by the professor or will lead to another question. </p>
<p>A high school class that just asks for opinions isn’t doing anyone (girls or boys any favours. Try asking for opinions, then challenging them. Simply put, bad teaching is bad teaching, regardless of whether it be lecture-style or discussion.</p>
