Towards the end of my time with the IRS, the training people developed
a new theory of education: self-education.
The /theory/ was that the instructor would do the normal preparation
to be up on the topic but just listen to the students discuss the
topic, intervening only when things got off track. No actual
instruction.
The /practice/ was the the instructor didn't bother to prep for the
course, so anything could be proposed and accepted, however far off
base. No instruction at all.
I suggest that your long division instruction was superior to this.
