Online education is more effective than classroom

Read the story:
Online education is more effective than classroom


Classroom learning. The teacher-student model of learning is a highly ineffective way to learn.

How did our public education system get started? Why is this the way we are today?
A system that will create industrial discipline – show up, work, read, count

Schools resemble factories
-Show up on time
-Bells ring
-Teacher is the boss
-Commute to school = commute to work – preparing students
The education system is obsolete. Don’t reform it. Replace it.

Japan – your daily definition of insanity:
Doing the same thing over and over in hope of getting a different result
