Yes, there will always be the student who LOVES classes (and hint, hint — the student who LOVES all classes is typically a lower-performing employee).

For centuries, innovative teachers have been trying to find other more effective methods of pedagogy that can take the place of lecturing and instruction. What it does mean is that teachers should seriously consider new forms of pedagogy where students are placed at the centre of the learning process, and have to spend some time ''teaching''.
