By their actions some students seem to prefer learning by talking over the teacher, or beating him up.

This article is completely wrong.

I home-schooled my 3 children. They all have extremely high IQ's and score high on state exams. My middle child ranked in the top 1% on the Texas STAAR exam.

Approximately 95% of humans are convergent learners; meaning, if you ask them a question, the search their mind for the one correct answer. The other 5% are divergent; the answer becomes the launch point for a series of other questions. Divergent learners are the innovators, scientists, engineers, pioneering doctors, and more, but are often stiffled in a typical classroom environment.
