statement 1: Schools that adhere to the subject-centered approach make robots out of children

I agree to that statement,because based on what i've read about the subject-centered approach is a kind of strategy that most of the thoughts of the teachers came from the book,this design corresponds mostly to the textbook.Most of the school using this kind of structure aims for excellence in the suaject matter content. But come to think of it, children are also human beings, they have feelings & emotions too. Yes, they are right in some wyas, that they want the children to learn but not in that kind of way. You must teach them with love for them to be motivated to learn on themsleves. Learners are not passive individuals but one who engages with his/her environment. :)
