"Thinking" is not something we talk about.

The teacher "teaches" and the students "sit and listen" or learn passively.

If we wait long enough, a teacher will answer her own question, so we won't have to do much work.

The answer to most questions can be given in one or two words, and no one will challenge you to go deeper.

If I memorize enough stuff, I can get a good grade.

Books and teachers are always "right", and we learn only from them, not from any other resource in the room, such as our friends.

There is one "right answer" to any question, and it is in the book to be read.
