Socrates teaching methods

Socrates has some very good teaching methods and others that not even the great Kelly Sorensen could understand. Socrates is without question a extremely wise man and has the intellect to explain/ teach a student about almost everything. He also isn't the kind of teacher that is willing to spell it out for you, but you will need to think to come up with the answer. Of course Socrates knows to help his students along the way but he makes sure you understand his reasoning behind what he says before the answer is given. Also Socrates has very good morals. You see this whenever he refuses to beg the jury for mercy in court and when he refuses to give a punishment to himself for the fact that he thinks he hasn't done anything wrong. However, Socrates has one extremely large flaw in his teaching style. He will spin your mind in circles so much by the end, you will have no idea what is going on. This is seen the best just throughout the entire conversation with Euthyphro in the first section of the book. There is not one person that can say they were not confused by what Socrates was saying and where he was going at one time or another. I think that Socrates was probably one of the greatest minds ever and that he was an excellent teacher to his pupils, but he was very hard to understand at times.
