I taught at Cambridge one term. It is a stupid system. The students pay little attention in class because they know you can stop by your office before exams and have you teach them personally. Multiply by the number of students. Absolutely crazy system.
Oh, and the students are lousy.

What happens if children learn the lesson that government has the power to give them “free” things, such as their schooling?
What happens if they learn this lesson every godless collectivist school day for 13 YEARS? ( Repetition, repetition, repetition!)
Answer: They learn to think godlessly. They learn to be completely comfortable with using government force to take money from their neighbor.
I remember having a few of those professors. Constructivism is a fine topic in Metaphysics because there we ask all sorts of weird questions so the idea of reality that is a pure “social construct” fits right in there. In any other subject, though, students need facts, not “facilitators”. And now this is going on at the elementary school level? Disgusting.
We are seeing the Idiocracy in its infant stage - I guess I ought to feel priviledged by being a part of history.
