Some of the online trainers and educators are now feeling their place in society. With the restrictions governing the schooling of our students and pupils still in place, there is a tremendous emphasis on home learning. As with all generational matters, the parents are often finding they don’t understand what exactly is being taught. Take Maths for example. Over many years the teaching of this absolutely essential subject has varied as fashions and whims have changed. I know that various methods have been adopted to try and make long multiplicaiton much easier to accomplish, and the opposite, long division. They turn to their phone or other form of calculator. Ok, the result will be accurate, assuming the correct digits have been pressed, but the skills to work out something for themselves has very rapidly been lost in one single generation. This is tragic. What’s needed is a refresher class for all adults every few years so they keep up with what needs to be learned and how best to learn it. Online education is the only way of achievig this.
