Im not sure what is going to happen when I have kids
For me, it went like this:
- I’m afraid I’ll drop or hurt this tiny helpless child.
- But this tiny helpless child can’t even go drink milk by itself.
- I guess I can only make things better helping it get milk. I’ll just be really careful.
- That wasn’t so bad. I guess I can do this.
Then repeat in stages every 15 minutes or so as it needs diapers, or cuddles to warm up, or cleaned, or milk again, or diapers again.
Until eventually I’m confidently picking it up in a moment of complete terror so that it won’t run out into traffic.
That’s great, and that’s why it’s an option.
But research consistently shows that everyone is different and has different learning needs.
More ways to learn means more people succeed in learning.
Now your specific question is still quite interesting, with emphasis added to default:
I think online is rapidly becoming the default for anything that can be learned online, for anyone who can learn online.
But I’m thankful that we have both community colleges and universities for things that cannot be effectively taught online and for people who needs more modes of learning.
