Using simple, down-to-earth language, Thompson examines how to enable genuine teaching by developing the student-instructor relationship.

If I was having a conversation with the author, it would get to the point that I would say “if you use the phrase telling is not teaching one more time, I’m going to punch you in the face.” For someone with a large enough ego to think they have something useful to say about teaching, they should have the common sense to not beat their catchphrase to death and to the point that it distracts from their central ideas. It’s like they were trying to turn a 1 page essay into a 3 page essay by sprinkling in a single phrase. I’m not even finished with the book and I’m not sure that I can.
