Though it maintains classroom discipline and convenience for the teacher in controlling the classroom, it is still not the precise way because after spending so many minutes, the student learner's attention is no longer focusing on the teacher due to boredom, restlessness, tiredness and drowsiness. The student learners remain as passive recipients of information given by their teacher and vice-versa , the teacher is considered as the sole provider of information.
