Hi Matt,
I think there was a wee bit derogatory about how
the classroom is set up.
There was this video I saw that was really interesting...
i can search for the title if anyone is interested.
It showed an American classroom, a Japanese (i think) classroom,
and a German classroom.
It was amazing to see the differences. The American classroom
was authoritative style, the Japanese may have looked "chaotic"
from American perspective, and the German was a somewhere
in between the two.
It's clear the teacher in charge in all three but "hypnosis"
fit the American classroom style the most to me.
