Really? I'd expect that (1) most teachers would like lots of questions; (2) the teacher's opinion would be visible to the class; and (3) the class would trust the opinion of the teacher.
Where am I going wrong?
1) is true for good teachers, and increasingly as one progresses through education, but not always. My physics teacher imposed a 5 question/day limit on me, albeit somewhat in jest.
2) is probably true, but may harm the student before they're saved by college/ banding by ability, as 3) becomes increasing true with time.
