India....and math?
Reading an Edutopia article about "Online Learning- The Next Great Debate?" it discusses how Brittish kids are working with online tutors in India for math and are doing remarkable. Also the tutors are affordable and the schedules are flexible for parents. They are making the Open University sites with these tutors free to anyone no matter where they live which is aiding in a lot of students understanding of math material because there is always someone to ask for help. Therefore, is this idea of having students take classes or get tutors from India a threat to us as educators? Soon with all teaching of maerials be available to students that way from other countries and will it be cheaper for the families than the education we provide? It is definitely something to ponder over.
