Description

The question of which method yields the most possible learning is one that has
been debated extensively throughout the history of education. The most practiced method
is often referred to as the ‘traditional’ system, which is the model for most schools in the
United States. This system is not the most effective in terms of resulting in actual
learning and has many disadvantages that are actually counterproductive to real learning.
The traditional educational system focuses entirely on intellectual and ignores
experiential learning, teaches students how to succeed on standardized tests and not much
more, has an authoritarian nature, and leads students to only extrinsically value education
and not intrinsically value learning.
