If they don't keep up with any new methodologies and technologies, they probably prohibit things just to avoid having to learn anything new. If they do learn new things (and teach them when appropriate), they probably have didactic reasons for the prohibitions - and shouldn't have any problem explaining why a particular approach is forbidden. I've met plenty of teachers of both kinds. | |

Also i don't see why functions/methods are taught that late, but that's almost another topic... Also I'm not really sure if there is a clear plan behind this or if it is more about authority than didactics, or in other words: "Rules are rules and that's it! Just follow them and don't ask why they have been set up. If you don't follow them, you disrespected the teacher and will be penalized"! | |
