“I must explain this to you, since you cannot understand it yourself.” - great perspective on the attitude of many educational institutions to their students. Part of what I liked so much about doing graduate school online was 80% of my learning was reading books on my own time. While figuring out myself how to apply the content to the real world. A skill I use at work everyday. Most of what the professors did was critique, which is probably how it should be. I liked it a lot more than how things were during my undergrad.

My older brother taught himself to write computer code when he was 12. By the end of high school he was running his own web hosting company with two employees in India doing tech support for customers. 18 years old, self-taught and already outsourcing jobs. God bless America.

I wish school had more of an emphasis on self directed learning.
