What about auditory learners? Not everyone learns well from reading.
We are not far away from full-free online tutorial videos. There is already an overwhelming amount on the net - I am sure with time the internet will have more visual/auditory resources than a school could ever provide.

I will concede that in certain subjects, for a certain very small subset of the population, the internet might do as good a job as an institution of higher learning, at least when combined with relevant independent study off of the internet (for example, field trips).

But, for the majority of subjects and the vast majority of people, organized education is superior to the internet.

I disagree. How many people like sitting in a classroom? I bet you didn't thoroughly enjoy being stuffed in a classroom all day. I agree, a group of people learning can accomplish a great deal of education, but what are they teaching in schools now? Why should everyone be told what to learn?

If there was a general guideline of how the schools curriculum worked, someone could pick the given subject then gather their own information and form their own opinion on it. Schools are too indoctrine-iny for my likeing. I would prefer people found their own resources and developed their own study on the matter. Just my opinion.


This is my signature.
