Do you prefer a more pedantic or didactic style of teaching?

Humans naturally learn more didactically, but our schools try to teach us pedantically...

Socratic method is my favorite.

Most of my professors in college and in law school used the Socratic method. Yes, it would be difficult to use in high school. Also, certain subjects don't lend themselves well to the Socratic method. Things like history, political science, law etc... work well with the Socratic method...

We sometimes use the socratic method in my language classes. We used it very often during my AP Language class last year. My teacher loves my insight and all. We used it... Friday, in fact, in AP Literature, but I didn't participate since I didn't even read the story. xD

Those subjects and classes work well for that style of teaching... Math and science don't lend themselves too well. Good teachers/professors incorporate several different styles and use them when appropriate. Keep studying.
