Empty Buses: Thoughts on Teaching Economics

This essay compares teaching to transportation--the purpose is to move the passengers rather than the vehicles.

Content needs to be constantly reevaluated to assure relevance and comprehensibility. Classroom time needs to engage students interactively--they are not a passive audience but the central focus.
