Those claiming that the American Education system is broken aren\u2019t looking hard enough. It\u2019s not broken, it\u2019s evolving.\u00a0 It\u2019s molding like water to a punch bowl.\u00a0 Where universities are offering ebooks, teachers are getting paid online, and innovation is coming from people\u2019s home computers. The dynamic is changing in relation to human progression. One lever of the system can\u2019t be pulled without influencing all others.<\/p>\n
For example, the industrialized free market economy based on raw materials is going digital. Where the money goes in America, so also will at least a part of education. Why should students pay huge amounts of interest on loans, when the rich ecommerce venture capitalists they admire say college can be a waste of time? They\u2019re out creating online communities<\/a> that connect teachers to students and teachers with teachers, sometimes raking in millions.<\/p>\n What happens to teachers when an economy collapses and they find themselves in need?\u00a0 Apparently, they get crafty, and through fascinating sites like TeachersPayTeachers.com<\/a>, make decent money on the side. In fact, one extraordinary teacher named Deanna Jump sold her original content teaching guides to hundreds of thousands of people. Why not? Here’s what I find interesting: if one does a search on Amazon for her name…guess what?\u00a0 They won\u2019t find anything.<\/p>\n Ebooks are going this route as well. They\u2019re condensing from epic novels, to small marketing\/branding packages of 10-20 thousand words, and from hundreds of pages to roughly 20-60. Non-fiction ebooks are taking off like a lightning bolt strapped on an outbound meteor.<\/p>\n Laid off teachers, through the 21st century virtual world, are finding that they don\u2019t need to deal with the educational system grappling with fiat currency collapse and social transition. Through solidarity, like farmers markets of the first depression era, people are sharing what they have for reasonable prices without interest, undue fees, greed, or crony capitalism.<\/p>\n This could be anything from ebooks, to blogging or freelance work. A teacher could compose study guides and sell them on any number of sites that cater to parents of younger kids up through college students. They could get hired by online universities and teach from the comfort of their own home, or hired by individuals and go door to door. In fact, teachers all over the US are not only selling their expertise to students in America, but all over the English speaking world.<\/p>\nDeanna Jump and Freelance Education<\/h2>\n
