The problem is that the teacher has an incentive to reduce the quality of her education during the normal class.
I guess it's like the difference between buying 'protection' from the mob and hiring a legitimate security guard.
- clarky07 14y agoWhy would the teacher have an incentive to reduce the quality or her education during the normal class? Current scenario: Teacher makes lesson plan. Teacher teaches lesson plan. With this system: Teacher makes lesson plan. Teacher teaches lesson plan. Teacher sells lesson plan. If anything they have incentive to do better work as it would be more likely to get purchased.
- Avenger42 14y agoSo you're saying that the target market is students - a teacher does a half-assed teaching job in class and pushes students to pay for improved lesson plan online. I'm fairly certain such a teacher would be fired post haste. From my reading of the article, the target market is other teachers. My mother (a teacher) could sell lesson plans she's used for 20+ years, and another teacher (perhaps one straight out of college, with limited practice creating her own plans) could purchase it and either make modifications for her own class or teach it directly.
