Interesting analysis, but as a current student I would find the things she wanted to change to be annoying in high school. It probably depends a lot on the student, but I really just wanted to listen to the teacher teach. My best teachers really knew their stuff and assigned interesting work for homework.

The ones that tried to get us to hop around were not appreciated. I'm there because I want to learn, not do jumping jacks.

Seriously, it was so annoying when the teacher would have us get up and "move", for instance to demonstrate a math concept. She doesn't seem to get it that physically commanding students like that is demeaning, treating them like a dog.
