Lizardking27Literally the teachers job to explain everything.
If you don’t do the reading and come to class expecting everything to be laid out for you without any effort on your part, why even pay for a college education?
If teachers don’t explains things, then what exactly are they for?
University could be a whole lot cheaper if they gave out diplomas for just reading the text books.
You are straw-manning very hard right now. No one is saying teachers shouldn’t explain anything. I’m saying teachers shouldn’t have to explain everything just because you didn’t want to do any homework.
And you sound like you’re making excuses for shitty teachers.
The best teachers I ever had were the ones who actually taught during class and rarely had to assign homework.
The best teachers you have ever had… rarely had to assign homework. I’m not sure what discipline you’re in, but in my field (don’t want to doxx myself) that doesn’t even make sense.
Yeah… I’m not sure I understand that comment without an example. Are you saying your field is something that takes a lifetime to master and you have to spend every waking hour working on it?
And yes the classes that I learned the most in were the ones where we would read the textbook together and do exercises during class. The worst were the ones that would just assign the chapter for you to read at home without them there as a resource if you had any questions.
I work in the humanities. It requires discussion-based classes. Which are difficult to have if no one does the reading.

I’m really trying to be charitable and assume you’re arguing in good faith but why say say something like this.

Okay, I agree with you here. Good teachers will explain the material, bad teacher expect the students to do all the work. Now read the meme again. This is not the scenario I’m trying to describe.
