SLC problems are:

1. It is by far not meant for everyone (those who join already have the knowledge which means starters make no chance).
2. The language barrier is a huge problem: teachers do not speak the same language as the student (low educated cannot learn anything because they have no idea what is meant)
3. There is no interaction (not with teachers, students, no commenting)
4. The SLC lessons are always the same - week after week basically the same is taught and if you are new you are told to work yourself through the old lessons first.
5. You are forced to buy tools, items to join/repairments or tricks don't work because situations differ.
6. There is never a break and everyone has a life and at a certain point you simply had it with the tasks, videos, struggles with internet/data and the neverending proof you are not a robot!
   Schools have vacation why SLC not?
7. Six weeks is too long. A course of 2x 3 weeks or 3x 3 weeks through one year would be better to adapt what is taught and try it out. Next to that it gives room for a job and private life not to mention connecting with others and having fun.
8. If you kick out the writers/artists, are not willing to stimulate what you preached for years there's no way to change this overnight just because you are afraid of AI.

Positive

is that people clearly don't care about an SC upvote and the same counts for the prizes we set with MWW. This means the motivation is there and we don't attract the farmers and AI users but those who really like to write which is to me most important.

Since no one reads I made a post out of this comment!

I wonder why I bother. Is it about producing posts or a discussion asking what the sticking points are? Does @steemitblog care since not once have I read a response when comments are made on posts. This is already a sign of how distant the team is from the user.
