I'm from a country where it's not too rare to see teachers in their 60s, who pretty much taken deep roots in the university, reading lectures in monotone without ever touching practice on the subject in the ‘real world.’ The lag of universities behind modern technology has become a matter of frustrated laughter here, and a widespread position is that a degree is only for the resume, with you forgetting everything you ‘learned’ on the day you graduate.

And my belief, as far as I gathered from hearsay, was that ‘Western’ approach was different, what with having professors who actually work in the field between lectures. So I was, uh, rather surprised to read this.
