  The old fashioned one-room schoolhouse was a room in which students taught students, and the teacher was merely a source available for help, not someone who spoke at them, spilling adult knowledge.

  this is a very interesting article, although it focuses on higher business education, the gist of it is there. Learning is not a passive activity. You have to actively educate yourself.
  
  Maybe homework should be changed from answering questions to making questions.

  Professor Ackoff has lots more to say about education.
  
  "Information is more valuable than data, and knowledge more valuable than information and understanding more valuable than knowledge," he contends.
  
  I wanna add
  
  "Information is more valuable than data, and knowledge more valuable than information and understanding more valuable than knowledge and teaching more valuable than understanding"
