Not "old school" but you have a different learning style than I do, as I prefer to puzzle things out on my own.
It took me to my 30s to realize that not everyone wants to learn on their own (or are capable of doing so), even if I still don't understand why they can't learn on their own (the pivotal moment was when a friend complained she didn't know how to use Microsoft Word and wanted to take a class. I asked her why she couldn't just start using Word. I mean, it has a help system, there are books on using it. What's with the class? But that's her and her learning style. Like I said, I still don't quite grok it).
- jostylr 12y agoI wish we could do counterfactual analysis. I would love to see if it was traditional education that led people to requiring a class to learn or if it is intrinsic. As a species, we certainly have strong mentoring needs for learning mastery. But that is quite different from requiring a class.
