To The Professors and Teachers that Parrot From a Book- Do The Students A Favor And Get Out Of Teaching

Any college professor, lecturer or teacher that parrots from a book deserves to be fired or at least retrained. The exception is complicated subjects in math and science in which following a book and explaining its content is necessary and justified. For most subjects, to stand in front of students and lecture to them by parroting from a book, often the very book the students are required to read, is boring, not challenging, and a complete waste of the student's time and money. Mindless memorization is not an education, nor is constant exposure to mind numbing boredom. An education should be a challenging process that encourages thinking and creativity. A school should not be a refuge for lazy people, which unfortunately is far too often the case.
