Teacher to student lecturing happens for a combination of three reasons:
1. The teacher believes it's the best way to present the material.
2. Generally, a lecture is easier to prepare (and easier to keep on task) than any other form of instruction.
3. To the average person (and many administrators) a classroom full of children sitting silently in rows, all taking notes, looks "right".
