Maybe the "sit down and listen" model of education is spent?

hands on learning is even more resource intense. most schools with voc programs want to get rid of them because they cost too much and benefit too few students. sit down and listen is more cost effective.

and 'pay a ton of money to watch videos on the internet' is even more effective in terms cost. but it's also a horrible way to learn.
