The question raised by the growth of online classes for young students is whether you can really learn that way as opposed to having a teacher there with you. And I'd say the answer depends on the kid. I can only speak for myself, but if they'd had self-directed online courses when I was a kid, I'd have thrived. I didn't need a teacher, although an encouraging teacher is a good thing to have and teachers can tell when students are good and bad and can help direct them the right way. But learning? Give me a laptop and get out of the way. (New York Times)
