Youtube is not a good replacement for instructor led education because you need someone to be able to answer questions, select material, monitor pupil progress, identify weak areas and help improve them.
This is not that dissimilar from someone thinking that businessmen don't need programmers because they could just cut out the middlemen and copy and paste from stackoverflow. It's not real analysis its a powerpoint presentation and its not well connected to reality.
- devwastaken 5y agoYouTube is singularly how high schoolers and college students pass most of their classes, because teachers are not competent instructors. Again, most of these things have gone online, with pre recorded videos being the focus. YouTube content creators simply do a better job at it because math, history, philosophy, etc teachers are poor presenters of information. Compsci is a popular one where the concepts are far easier understood by a YouTube video than a smart board. The ideas of what teachers do and what they actually do are entirely different. Teachers overwhelmingly are there to hand out assignments bought from a company. If you don't understand it, teachers don't care, it's keep up or drop out.
