Sure, there's good teaching and bad teaching and good and bad teachers, even within the same pedagogic strategy (I think I just made that term up). Goes for parenting too.

I keep hearing stories of kids who are graduated out of high school as functional illiterates because the schools didn't want to damage their self esteem by failing them.
