The teacher is the possessors of knowledge, the student is the recipient. Some means of verbal instruction is the main means of getting knowledge into the student. The exam measures the extent to which the student has received it. The teacher is the possessor of power, the student the one who obeys. Rule by authority is the accepted policy in the classroom. Trust is at a minimum – especially the teacher’s mistrust of the student. The student is best controlled by the always present threat of being punished.
