As a second degree seeking student at the University of South Alabama, I have split opinions of the video by Mr. Brown and the blog by Ms. Bayda. I actually agree with the separation of class based upon education. Is it fair that those less fortunate and knowledgeable received lack there of an education? No, it is not! Everything and anything is available via internet. Given the right amount of time and initiative to an individual less fortunate against an educated individual and the result will be a factual debate. Traditional classrooms are a room full of thriving future professionals eager to obtain the information needed to be an success. Does that mean that the individuals unable to sit in that classroom is not as driven? Again, No, it does not. Mr. Brown definitely has a point that noting facts given to you by another individual in no longer needed in this day of age. Currently, we have Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blog's, and MacBook which allows your an informative avenue to receive any information wanted. One can present an inquiry on either networks and in minutes the answer to that very question alongside other great suggestions are available. All of which required no money nor time in on a college campus in a college classroom. I concur completely with that idea. Will traditional teaching eventually disappear? I don't completely agree. I feel more so that things in general has advanced and will advanced throughout the years. I also feel that there needs to be the right amount of old mixed in with the new. New developments and different ways of obtaining information is an advantage to the lower class individual which no longer leaves room for excuses.
