My Thoughts as a Student

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS IN SCHOOL WHEN IT COMES TO HOW I SEE TEACHERS
First, the teacher has all the authority and power, while the student has none, so the teacher has the power to make the student's life miserable, while the student has no power to protect himself. So it doesn't take much intelligence for the student to just keep his mouth shut and avoid calling attention to himself. What could be a more obvious decision to make when confronted with such a lopsided distribution of power?

Secondly, a student may sometimes listen to a teacher, not to find out useful information, but to attempt to catch the teacher in a logical fallacy. This is such a pointless, stupid way of listening hat it is clear going to waste months of precious time until the inevitable realization that the only transaction that matters is a transfer of useful information from adults who possess it to children who do not.

Catching mistakes is not a criminal misuse of time. Pointing out the mistakes however, is. Catching them - noticing them - that was essential. If the student was not in his own mind distinguish between useful and erroneous information then he is not learning at all, he would merely be replacing ignorance with false belief, which was no improvement.

One thing I also thought about is the uselessness of speaking up. If I know the teacher is wrong, and say nothing, then I remain the only one who knows, and that gives me an advantage over those who believe the wrong information.
