She invited to do an online class. This kind of work is for the future, she just want me to have some confirmation with them, so their client can search me on the website. She will ask someone to do it with me. I”m not a person always showing off.

She is a marketing in their company. She told me “our brand is for VVip, we always invite the master degree, this kind of teacher for our class. Before my job is in jewelry industry, i know a lot about it”. We confirmed the topic of the class and confirmed the topic with her boss, then she just started to work with me. Because we already confirmed this topic, so we did a lot of research about it. For this job, we started a draft, after we spent two days to do it and sent it to her. All content is about the topic which one we decided before. Then she decided to change, give you lots of other ideas, she thought she is very creative. She said you can put some gossip and fashion. If we follow her, then just waste our time.

Will online education replace traditional learning?

Editor’s note: Many Chinese schools have started the new semester by adopting online platforms to take classes amid the novel coronavirus outbreak. Will online education replace traditional schools? Readers share their opinions.

Though I am not sure whether online courses can replace traditional education in the future, I reckon, at least for now, schooling provides more for students than studying via internet. In the long-run of their development, besides knowledge, youngsters are required to participate in various activities with classmates and teachers to accumulate first-hand experience, which is a fundamental basis for them to handle practical problems and to acquire social skills when leaving school. That’s what the trendy way of teaching cannot offer.

How can you learn subjects such as chemistry without being able to safely use the laboratory equipment and chemicals under the direct, hands-on guidance of an expert teacher ? How can you learn how to use a language in face-to-face situations using aspects such as a gesture, facial expression, body posture, tone of voice solely via a computer ? How can you learn extra-curricular or hidden curricular behaviors and attitudes, such as being with your classmates, playing games with them, learning discipline and order from your teachers if the student is stuck behind a computer monitor ? How can you learn how to cook if you don’t have a stove ?

You cannot learn how to live life simply by sitting in front of a computer rather than ever taking part of being a community member in the ‘big, bad world’ beyond the screen.
