In this country, she finds the relationship between teacher and student far more healthy and constructive than in Europe. "American teachers have much more respect for the student. Students don't learn to be meek and mousey: they're invited to speak up. In Germany, the teacher is the master, the pupil is a little 'pimpf'.
