Every teacher knows that learning performance depends primarily on students. The very same lecture, with same methods, teacher, books, resources, have drastically distinct performance with different classes.

- Viliam1234 8y agoThere is a huge informational asymmetry when debating education: almost everyone was a student once, but most people have never been teachers. This is how people know that the quality of education in the same class can change dramatically when you replace a teacher. But most of them don't know that the same is true in the opposite direction: the quality of education can change dramatically when the same teacher teaches different classes (or just when the most disruptive child in the class happens to be sick at home today). There is also no teaching method that would make everyone happy. Some students prefer to work in teams, some prefer to work alone. Some students prefer to have explained how things work, some insist on receiving a list of stuff to memorize. Most people who have a recipe "how to fix education" simply want everyone to do it their preferred way. (So perhaps the best approach would be to have different kinds of school for everyone? Problem is, people would not want to honestly admit some of their preferences. If you listen to internet, everyone prefers understanding to memorization. Then you start explaining stuff, and students follow every sentence you said with "do we have to remember this for the exam?")
