[Archaea]

Why do we call the "instructor" an instructor when we only desire a "discussion leader"?

In a traditional sense, an instructor has more information on a subject. Whenever I was DL, I found I did not have the most information.

In High Priest, one doesn't even need to look at the manuals for discussion to ensue.

I suppose my little beef about it, is the DL method assumes that such DL is a gifted practitioner of the Socratic method. I suspect most are not. Most of my law professors, who should be more acquainted with it, were not good at it.

The Socratic method also assumes the students have prepared prior to coming to class, which we know, usually involves about three persons, HP Group Leader, DL and the mister know-it-all in the corner.

What is the solution to this ever common problem?
