Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Part 3 - First Half:
The narrator talks about how the system tells us to imitate our teachers to get good grades.  I agree with this because for every teacher they have different rules of how to do things like writing papers.  We have to follow them for that specific teacher or else they comment on our papers saying we did not do good.  Do you agree with that narrator? Is there no rom for originality in the schooling system?

  1. With the way it is set up I don't think there is much in the way of originality. If varies from teacher to teacher but most times you just have to figure out the "rules" for that class and follow them to get a good grade.
    One way that might be better is if classes were all discussion based. If you know enough about the subject to be able to intelligently talk about it with the teacher that is a pretty good sign that you have internalized the information, ideas, or concepts.
