Subjective vs Objective

I feel teaching is completely objective rather than subjective to ones experience. I try to use this in my teaching methods. Is this an accurate assumption?

Sean,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean in terms of teaching being objective rather than subjective. I think it is a blend of both. There are certain subjective facts, concepts and principles in every field and these can be taught in a objective or concrete way. The student has to personalize the content within their minds and then be able to use that knowledge as needed. This is where it can become subjective in that they need to be able to analyze when to use certain content or procedures as they are called upon to be problem solvers.
