What I think you're describing is a teacher-led education system, and your observations are correct within that framework.
Flip your model, and notice how this changes. Alfie Kohn's Point is precisely that, in a student-led education, a genuine interest is sufficient for learning and cooperation to happen spontaneously.
this territory is moderated
The system is not expressly teacher-led, but it does assume there being a set of ethics expected of participants, which are in place irrespective of whether they are observed or not. I would call the class being studied neither teacher nor student centred, but I'd sooner call it rule centered. Read my post and you'll understand.

I read the post, but probably misunderstood. Unlike you, I have no practical experience, and all I know is from the book I've mentioned, hence it being my main point of reference. This last comment of yours brings more clarity, and widens my worldview. Thanks.
