A lesson can be considered a period of time when you explore various topics and learn and gain knowledge. But there appears to be a fine line, measuring 0.01nm, separating learning in a lesson and really learning in a lesson.
As it is 0.01nm, which is not visible to the naked human eye, it is often hard to spot this fine line that is in existence. According to Principle of Conservation of Knowledge, PCK, it states that Knowledge cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one form to another. This is especially true. In a lesson, we expect teachers to provide the right answers yet most of us are unwilling to explore and venture out to the left, probably due to fears of failing. This can prove to be detrimental too, leading to a drop in productivity of both the teacher and the one(s) being taught.
The Law of Teaching states that ceteris paribus, the higher the participation and willingness of the students, the lower the difficulty in the teaching of knowledge. The Law of Learning states that ceteris paribus, the higher the participation and willingness of the students, the lower the difficulty in the learning of knowledge. Both Teaching curve and Learning curve intersect to give an equilibrium point, E, which is the optimum level of Teaching and Learning as the amount of knowledge being taught is exactly the amount of knowledge being learnt.
Why am i saying this? I believe many of you would know the exact reason. Let's not push the blame or fault others; i believe all is at fault, including me. What I'm really trying to say is that learning is difficult, granted, but it is also difficult to teach without any feedback or participation. Let's work towards that for all parties involved to be in a win-win situation. Let's work towards the equilibrium point, E.
Finally, i would like to applaud those who managed to reach this point as it can get too GP-y and Econs-y in the front. Ok, have a nice day!

P.S. To participate in the class is not merely to look interested. What's the point of looking interested to the teacher when deep down you cannot be bothered? What's the point of acting two different roles in class? Why like that?
