balkanized teacher

Hello everyone,
I am not sure, but maybe I too, am a balkanized teacher because unlike most of you, in past seventeen years, I have not taught any subject but chemistry (shame on me). Let’s see, the subject is very important to me. I introduce myself a chemistry teacher in professional socializations, but I consider myself a teacher in general. I love my students and it does not matter how old they are14 or 40. I overload my students, my courses, and myself with variety of teacher-centered (old fashion) and student-centered (progressive) styles and techniques. My student learning and likes have priority over the subject; however, the subject is very important to me too. I admit that I am a perfectionist but trying to be realistic too, therefore I work hard to do the best I can for my students, and I make them work hard too. I really believe in group work and think students would learn from each other in some ways, however there are barriers. I appreciate any chance to pass the control of class to students, but you know you always need to prove yourself to class first. I consider myself a little progressive but more humanistic. As Dewey (1938) argued, it does not matter traditional or progressive educational philosophy, I utilize whatever works better for my students, and mostly a combination of many styles. Am I a balkanized teacher?
Streaming or destreaming? Maybe streaming works in adult education system. Nonetheless, I think streaming hurts kids, I hate kids become disappointed. Why not to think about something else like Waldorf education system, rather than streaming or destreaming/tracking or detracking / segregating or desegregating…
