As with the recording industry, the teaching industry's business model needs to change. Grading students on homework that can easily be googled is no longer an acceptable means of assessing work and aptitude.
Then at class, the students do their homework, with the teacher helping and grading the work.
I'm really intrigued by this, and think there is a future for this method, given how technology has progressed.
I'm not sure at what point it got "flipped" around to the current state where students expect to learn the material in lecture and then study their notes, but attempting to flip it back seems like a good idea.
Do you think assignments are designed this way because of an "industry business model"?
This would barely even make sense if you were discussing private/charter schools.
