huh? please tell me what I missed in Phaedrus' post. |
Okay, it's quite well-dressed, but is really saying nothing more than "you guys are losers and not teachers." Perhaps I should have quoted his original post. That at least seems clearly designed in order to get some snarky reponses...which it did. |

Why is that 'opposition', business / education always set as such. It is possible to be both, some don't do it well of course, but it is possible. People pay for good education, that's why Ivy league and Oxbridge schools are so expensive, and so incredibly profitable, and so incredibly successful in what they do.
It's all about building a reputation.
The case of the hakwon that hires unqualified teachers is too heavily weighted on the business end of the scale, and the parents know it, which is why they try to dictate things. It doesn't mean that good business and good education can't exist under the same roof, it's just not easy that's all.
The hakwon that is letting parents' dictate how the classes are conducted is not doing well, and clutching at straws for ideas. It's useless. The parents clearly have no respect for the academy.
Education is business, tell me where, outside the last remaining communist countries where it is not. |
