Q. Why do you think that university teachers aren’t doing much of anything in the way of storytelling?
A. They are given the cream of the crop from high schools. That instantly maintains the status quo that the kids brought with them to college. It’s a win-win for both the professors and students – everyone gets to think their way through the class. Why should anyone at the university level pay any attention to what might be happening at the elementary and secondary level? Their students still can’t communicate in the language, in some cases even after majoring in it, but that seems to them to not be very important. Why change when everything is fine for them?
