They won't be that different 20 years from now. Teaching could be remote via VR/projectors/hologram or whatever tech, but you still need a real-time teacher to stop kids just timing their farts instead of learning.

Asthehills Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 And there we have it. What on earth makes them think that is appropriate on the island? They already have London Fringe plus four percent ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any job that is currently exploitative and relies on goodwill instead of appropriate remuneration and conditions needs addressing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice to see a teacher supporter accept that the deal they are currently on os actually pretty decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few now (1% in my experience) go on any face to face training. Might one day education go this way? Virtual teachers? Happened in remote parts of Australia in the 50s and 60s by HF radio. Might teachers one day, maybe 20 yrs from now, be virtualised as part of the remote working revolution that many now participate in? Yes And the curriculum could be vastly widened so that people can learn what they want to learn in short modules rather taking two or three years.

Especially Marie Curie, selfishly winning not one but two Nobel Prizes whilst teaching in Paris. But hey-ho, we all love an anecdote. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
