<p>And I’m talking about daily classwork. </p>
<p>To gambadent: I’m particularly peeved that in English classes, the teacher goes through, say a selection of poems, explains/analyses the poem for the class, then has a test on the ‘interpretation’, which is basically a regurgitation. Especially since I’m sure some of my classmates could not think of anything worthwhile to say if the teacher had not previously spoonfed them. I apologize for sounding conceited - just my $0.02</p>
