“Since an initial lesson description is a product of teacher behavior,

it is the teacher’s responsibility to discover and to alter whatever part

of the lesson plan is not functioning. It is not sufficient to explain

 the lack of success in terms of a deficiency on the part of the student.” (51)

  • How we decide to teach someone comes from the creation of a human. 
  • Formats for passing down education have been passed down to us from educators, family, and jobs. However, our society tends to blame students for not understanding what others are trying to convey and thus, the problem lies within them.
  • B.F. Skinner believed that it was the educator’s job to teach the material in any format needed to get his student to understand thus, putting the effort of change onto the instructor.
  • Sometimes we must take a closer look at our own behavior to understand why someone else acts as they do.
