I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn’t say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

    the premise is that most people learn by doing, so if you set the class up right you introduce a topic in a lecture and then reinforce the learning by the application in work either at school (if there is time) or at home. Students can then get feedback on how they did before an actual test on the material

    In your case it seems there was a disconnect between the intent and the application, which unfortunately is a sign of poor teaching

      Agree. Looking back, my school was horrible. The worst aspect of it all was that, by some bizarre turn of events, I eventually became a teacher myself and made many of the same mistakes. Being a teacher is difficult and it takes a special type of person that our Anglophone society ought to hold in higher esteem.
