Classrooms are designed to help students acquire information:
-This is still valid. With appropriate texts and a knowledgeable instructor the classroom can still be a place for a student to acquire knowledge. However, due to the massive amounts of information in today's world it is quite impossible to learn EVERYTHING in the classroom.

Information is scarce and hard to find:
-Once again with the right texts for a subject you can find a lot of information. Plus, with the Internet growing everyday information is more and more easily ready for any ones use. With new knowledge coming about daily it is impossible to cover every piece of the subject. No teacher can assume he/she would be able to demonstrate that feat.

Therefore we put an expert at the front of the class
The expert at the front of the class is still needed. Students need guidance and reassurance through a journey through a course. Yes, outside material is most likely needed in any course, but without the expert at the front of the class we could have no real guidelines.

The room is essentially an information dump
Yes, this is true. However, verbal debates and discussions can work better at times than wordy blogs that are only read and then at a latter time disputed with another blog.

This classroom is not about discussing information
Yes it is! I feel that face to face contact and talking in a classroom is a much better way of learning then discussing over the Internet. We all come into a classroom with a lot of knowledge, viewpoints and opinions. If only one person were to sit and instruct his/her opinions and we were supposed to believe it then we would be in a world of trouble. Several ideas and opinions make the best discussions and most likely the most informative debates.

Trust authority for good information
Yes, I feel that you should have faith in the authority figure, but you should always be open minded to the context. The teacher or instructor should be a knowledgeable person, however, they will not know everything.

The classroom teaches “obey authority” and “follow along”
This is a great rule. I think all students should "respect" their teachers. All students should have an open mind to a teach, but should always keep the teacher accountable. No one knows EVERYTHING about anything! Students going into the classroom may not know more than the teacher, but they might have an opinion that makes the teacher think and go beyond the normal teachings for the day.
