  • Indeed. Most of my skills are self taught but I suspect that’s because no one ever taught in a manner that suited me.

    I need visual and/or practical learning. Somebody talking at me just doesn’t work. I lose interest or don’t absorb the material. Slides or scribbles on a whiteboard help a bit but teachers and professors are severely lacking in visual communication. They certainly aren’t going to create graphics and animations like this video which clearly and concisely express the concept.


  • I’m sure every generation says this but…

    Kids these days are so lucky. They have access to so many incredible learning resources. If your teacher sucks or expresses concepts in a manner that doesn’t work for you then all you have to do is check YouTube for an animated lesson that breaks it down at a pace you’re comfortable with. Or just speed it up/slow it down/skip back and forth to suit.










  • I’m not against criticism, certainly the number of downvotes suggests I phrased it poorly or should have kept my views to myself.

    I tried to present my views in a neutral manner without accusation. I used the term reflect because as you state I have no idea of the user’s situation so it’s for them to reflect.

    I used a separate paragraph for the reference to hygiene in order to make a distinction between what I did and did not know. What I had hoped to raise was the distinction between hygiene and just applying masking products. But I didn’t know how to communicate that without being more specific.

    I apologise if I caused offense. None was intended. I’m some random person online, my views are my own, if I have caused offense I hope that can be easily dismissed as just another provocative voice online.
