There is an old say, "those who can, can. And those who can't, teach."

I've taken alot of IT classes from two year colleges and also have a Masters in MIS. From programming, to infosec, to networking, to database, I've taken it. The majority of it is heavy in theory and Microsoft Powerpoint. The majority of teachers are just going from what the book is and many have never worked in industry. The blind leading the blind.

Add on student loan debt, and employers who are expecting skills that students didn't learn is a receipt for disaster.

So no wonder we are seeing the rise of so many MOOC classes that are trying to make up for the education disaster in the United States.

By the way, your using alot of slang and broken English in your communication. Almost like you are texting. I would stop doing that, otherwise other may not take you very seriously.

Oh, i was on my phone and i don't and this just came up on my mind so i just wrote it up. The text book , or whatever are they using, has no value.

Example:

<!--  Don't write the !DOCTYPE  Its only HTML5 and were doing HTML -->

<head>
<title>My First website</title>
</head>
<body background=red>
<ul>
<li>First list
<li>Second List
<li>Thirs List
</ul>
</body>

<!-- Keep in mind to not indent it and use WINDOWS Notepad, don't use dreamweaver editor like 'Konrad' (me) told you or codepen.io -->

I don't exactly remember it, but thats what it was, even worse..

She said HTML was easier than HTML5 and HTML5 includes styles while HTML dont have styles, dont have CSS..

And all that.

Im in UK. How lucky must be people that had Zac at school or any other teacher :/

Been to two colleges with lots of different teachers, and students, was sad to see (some of them) them doing tables with dreamweaver and putting effort in it : p would take same amout of time if the teacher would teach it the proper way.
