I'm sure every generation says this but...
Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn't work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you're comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.
We're definitely in the best times for autodidacts like myself, I've hated school but always loved learning and I don't need anyone to keep doing it every day. I'll keep learning stuff till the day I die!
Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that's because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.
I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn't work. I lose interest or don't absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren't going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.
