I guess the same detector hasn't been developed well enough to apply to teachers promoting themselves. That's a shame, generalizing is an important life skill to develop.
- crazygringo 3y agoNo, the detector is the same, it's just that you usually don't have hundreds of people reviewing local teachers, including well-known expert reviewers, in the way that you can find hundreds of reviews for individual books. There needs to be enough data to find the signal in the noise. And even when you do, you should still remember that almost anyone can find and have access to a world-class book, while you're quite unlikely to have a world-class expert locally to teach you.
