Summary of Charles Deemer Article

As i read this article i came across many strong views on university education. Deemer believed that education is supposed to be an experience, but the fact that the teachers aren't connecting is taking that away. He says that "The best "teachers" have always been actors to by their very ability to move an audience to an experience, an active engagement with and in the performance, a process fundamental to real education." What i believe he's saying is that the teacher-student relationship needs to be re-built, so that the respect given is equal, and that the student is actually excited to learn something.
