Who is responsible for learning?

Marzano's idea that students should be held responsible for their own learning and should keep a learning journal based on their own goals and achievements is revolutionary!  Who knew that students should be held accountable?  In this era when the responsibility seems to lie more and more on the shoulders of the educator, I appreciate the fact that in the end, the student chooses to learn and exert effort or not.  Of course, Marzano does not negate the fact that a lot of preparation of objectives and strategies is the role of the teacher, but sincerely appreciate anyone who will honestly state that students have to take a major role in their own learning.  The idea that the students start with statements about what they want to know is a good starting point for true education to occur.
