Read the paragraph from the text. When the high school algebra instructor told the class "I expect all of my students to take on more responsibility for their own learning without having a lot of rules," Jordan felt even more sophisticated than his middle school peers. There would be no assigned seats. Students could take notes on any of their devices. They could even chew gum. The teacher would assign homework but never collect it. One's overall grade would be based completely on quiz and test scores. While all that seemed great, little did Jordan know it was a recipe for disaster.
