Never Work Harder Than Your Students...

Never Work Harder Than Your Students...sounds like a book worth reading.  If a teacher is controlling all facets of learning, frantically grading, writing notes on the overhead, lecturing for huge chunks of time, etc., then students probably aren't very active in class.  And they probably aren't working--or at least, thinking--too hard.  I'm going to order the book; I like the gist of it.
