Katherine's teaching style was almost the complete opposite from the teaching style portrayed in the extract. Katherine was a supporter of a teaching style known as progressive while the one in the extract is more traditional. She encouraged her students to be individuals and think for themselves. Katherine was very much a feminists and encouraged the women in her class not to abide by the traditional roles that women were given. The teaching style portrayed in the extract wants the teachers to focus solely on facts. This suggests that freedom of thought and speech was not encouraged in the classroom.The traditional teaching style did not allow personal relationships like Katherine had with her students. She gave them advice when they were making life changing decisions and even went as far as to help one of her students apply for law school. Katherine's progressive teaching style differs from the style portrayed in the extract in many ways. Her teaching style allowed her students to have the freedom of speech, opinion, and thought which opened the door for her and her students to have personal relationships. However, the traditional teaching style focused solely on facts and only allowed professional behavior between students and teachers.
