Another pundit that thinks the answer to education is
just work harder. If it was that easy we would have solved things long ago.
Oh and yes, the proper role of the educator at any level is that of facilitator. The sage on the stage who enters the hall at 10, walks to the lectern, opens his notebook, begins reading aloud until 1, closes his notebook and walks out of the hall is an example of the very worst type of educator you can have. A real teacher facilitates learning; he does not dictate it.
