classes.

You have to remember that this was a high school teacher. In high school the
kids are locked up in classrooms most of the day so nobody wants to waste what
little free time they have on figuring out school work. If learning is going
to happen it has to happen in the classroom. If you want learning to take
place outside of the classroom you have to let the students out of the classroo
m, which is the big difference between HS and college!
