It's interesting to see all of the people who claim "education" is so important. If it was so important, then why are colleges some of the most inefficient means of transferring information to students and teachers teaching.

I paid $100 for an in-class math class's online portion. It was clearly some reproduced site to get more revenue. In short, I went to Khan Academy, a completely free math site with in depth tutorials, practice problems, and everything else.

I also had to pay for a textbook I never opened once and was available through the online part. We also took notes from powerpoints every class.

I'm at my local community college right now and can't imagine how much students are being ripped off at colleges that spend so much money on advertising.

With all of my classes, I can confidently say I do not need a teacher. Theyre mostly there in order to repeat information. That information is avilable online. Modt of my teachers have trouble remaining calm when students ask questions and theyre really not of much help.

Even if I needed a teacher, I could hire a private tutor for $30 a visit and ask all my questions. Or search online.

What's worse is the strong beliefs in these methods. All of my friends on Instagram are posting about how happy they are for going to different universities. Maybe they got scholarships, but I'm certain the colleges will still profit heavily.
