Progressive VS. Strict Teaching

                  There are two major forms of teaching, the first is progressive. Progressive teaching is not defined by any textbook, it is a "free-style" of teaching, so to speak. The second main form of teaching is Strict, or by the book. This style of teaching is extremely well defined, usually following a text book, or syllabus. Progressive teaching allows more rooms for students to think for themselves, ask questions, and learn things in a different way. Whereas Strict teaching is not open for discussion, there are facts, and they are there for you to learn for yourself. This method allows no room for interpretation, as someone has already done that for you. Progressive teaching allows students to draw their own conclusions, and ask questions about areas that they are fuzzy on. Overall, Progressive teaching seems to be the best way to teach for the sake of the children, and Strict teaching seems more geared toward being easier on the teacher.
