Why Online Education Does Not Work


Here's why online education is so bad.  I'm sure this guy needs answers to some timed exam he is taking.  I wouldn't even waste my time responding.  I'm sure I wasn't the only one he approached for answers.  I wonder if he found someone to do the exam for him:

Hello,I am a senior in college taking a course called XXX. The course involves galois theory and my book is called "XX" by X. Would you be able to help me via the internet in this class?I would need you from 1:25 p.m. until 2:40 p.m. in about two weeks from now. I would send you pictures of the problems by attaching a picture to your email. and I would need you tosend me the correct answers back through email within 75 minutes of you getting the picture from me.Please let me know if you can help.Thank you!

It was in an e-mail I got from someone who reads this blog. Incredible, right?

Ahhh, yes. The generation that insists on, demands, and expects, instant gratification. They are the Earth around which all other planets and the sun orbit. They are the centre of all things.

I am not quite as "pissed off", but like reading your blog. If you get a chance, look for me at www.insidethereadingbox.com
