objectivism is a problem in education

"Denying the emotional presence and wholeness of students may help professors who are unable to connect focus more on the task of sharing information, facts, data, their interpretations, with no regard for listening to and hearing from the students. It makes the classroom a setting where optimal learning cannot and will not occur." (129)

"Fear-based students doubt that they can accomplish what they need to accomplish." (132)

In a setting where students feel that they are unable to access help, they may be less likely to succeed. This installment of fear helps the teacher have control.

when students feel submissive to their teachers, they may have a harder time learning and be less willing to speak up and ask for help

getting to know each student individually and helping cater to their preferred learning methods is more beneficial and helps students learn better

many students, especially at a young age, are eager to connect with their teachers. connecting with them makes them feel happier, safer, and more eager to learn

some teachers are closed minded about making the students interact more in the classroom. having an open and comfortable classroom environment is key to students being able to learn

professors that "value objectivism" are less likely to be open to adapting to students' needs. they are more on the path to teach how they think is best rather than for the better for the class and students.
