It's the end of what he calls "teachers' monopoly control of the classroom," and the "Dead Poets Society model". But that doesn't mean that the teacher will be marginalized: "When I say it's the end of that era, I don't mean it's the end of that inspirational input. I still hope the teachers are inspiring and can make people stand on desks and get out a book of poetry, but I just think there might be one or two other people in the room who know a bit about poetry."
