Cumulative Record. Chapter 12: The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching. Quote 20

The teacher is usually no happier about [the lack of effective teaching] than the pupil. Denied the opportunity to control via the birch rod, quite at sea as to the mode of operation of the few techniques at her disposal, she spends as little time as possible on drill subjects and eagerly subscribes to philosophies of education which emphasize material of greater inherent interest.
