Teaching style

I think that if this was the way of teaching in modern society there would be a lot of people who grew up to be bad people. Because for some kids school is their only escape from their home. The personal relationships they have with their teachers is what in a sense gives them the strength to keep going. IF they were only taught fact and not given any life tools to take with them beyond school how could we expect them to make it in the real world? also, having a connection with students outside of the education stand point is very important. I'm not saying it has to be a very deep connection but some type of personal connection. That is needed for students to feel comfortable and to be able to get the "facts" they need from school. The idea that the headmistress of Wellseley college was similar to the extract from Charles Dickens and it worked until she met someone who refused to conform to live the way she was told.
