It seems to be describing a classroom ideal for extroverts. But already education is hugely social - much more than it used to be. Schools have loads of group work, universities have group work, schools (here in the UK) increasingly teach via shared activities, acting things out, debating things, etc - in this country the whole national "curriculum for excellence" is based around this.

Even in my job every training course I have been to lately involves "workshops" and group activities to play-act scenarios.

But some people hate learning like this. I'd much rather have a lecture or be given a book and just directly absorb the information without all the patronising and time-wasting group nonsense. I feel like modern education is actively hostile to individual reflection and deep learning.
