Children should start learning education from the internet now, not schools.

You say I do not read through the arguments properly. I am stating that the internet is incapable of creation without human input, otherwise referred to as "content creators". These content creators are not young kids who are compiling the information and "putting them into one" place. I have built a website actually, because my school made me do it as a learning experience. I now have a deeper understanding of the internet than I would otherwise have been afforded. I learned not to take everything at face value, because if I can do it, so can any troll that decides it would be funny to make someone think a tsunami is a type of fish. The teachers get paid online via credit card or eftpos I presume is what you are suggesting, because there is no way that the government could possibly fund all those teachers, and someone has to pay them. So it would be parents, and they're paying via credit or savings? I was hoping you'd suggest something that wasn't open to internet hackers and con artists. You dismiss cyber bullying like its nothing? Let me tell you buddy, cyber bullying is a real and relevant threat to the mental stability of our youths. I notice your lack of a source that disproves my claim, I am going to go out on a limb and say it's probably because there was no source, and you wrote that because you simply disagree with it. Why don't you provide a source before you dismiss facts like that? I ask how an illiterate child is supposed to navigate their way to this revolutionary video you are suggesting. How is a child going to search for and find the appropriate video for their learning phase and skill level? Perhaps that too will fall to the parent. How many parents are going to want to sit through half a dozen videos on basic alphabet until they find one that caters to their child? How many parents are going to want to want to pay someone to look after the child and ensure that it remains focused? Like it or not, children owl get distracted. It's a fact of life. I didn't want it to come to this but it seems necessary. I can tell you that no, I didn't start learning to read and write from my parents, because like more than fifty percent of standard American households as of 2010, I live in an untraditional family arrangement. If you take that scale an apply it to a country the size of Australia, which is where I live, it is not uncommon for a child to be living with a single parent, a grandparent, Aunt, uncle or even in foster care. Not everyone fits into your little scheme of "perfect traditional families" you know. Don't presume that you know me. I was simply answering your statement "you even misspelled recognize" well guess what buddy boy, your spelling and grammar isn't that great either. Are you aware that there are different versions if English, and applying whatever bastardisation of traditional your country has as it's standard to my own country's bastardisation of traditional English just goes to show how truly ignorant you are to other cultures. What don't you get... Let's see, why don't I start with human interaction outside of a fifty centimetre box? Physical contact? Exposure to viruses and disease essential for the building of a healthy immune system? The idea of a shared workspace? It's not even about the curriculum, it's about all the things you learn at school that aren't the direct result of the teachers, but rather the result of sharing an interactive environment with other equally curios children I did in fact ask around, and people share my opinion. http://www.statsheep.com... this is a link to the top 100 most subscribed to channels on youtube. I count one educational channel among their ranks, that channel being Vsause. Are you suggesting that children won't find the other 99 the least bit enticing? Not even with all that advertising for PewDiePie and his cohort of gaming commentators? Yeah, I like the mention of "lifelong learners". I happen to be one myself, but you cannot say that all children are interested in learning. Some choose to work as labourers, which after the set curriculum for that, no extra learning is needed. Others choose to sit around smoking bongs. You know what they'll learn form youtube? They'll learn how to make a bong out of anything you can find around the house and how to pass sobriety tests. What a great tool the internet truly is. Flawless. Why don't you try looking at things with a little cold, hard logic before arguing this topic?
