Thanks for the reply I dont really know much about accreditation so that is a new thing to think about.

I was asking about pay not as an insinuation(¿?) that had anything to do with why you left, i was just curious what you feel is an appropriate wage for teaching in your opinion.

I wonder what it would take, probably some kind of administered association. Like if someone formed an independent educators union that could then detail what a member must do to prove they qualify for teaching. Then charge what you want for running your own classes as you see fit without the need for a campus. Like i love learning but cant do online or self directed learning. Ive only ever been in classes with 30+ kids so i figure there are other models to try.

Once upon a time people had teachers brought to them and formal schooling wasnt much of a thing outside military institutions or great empires (though many exceptions did exist im sure)

Im not sure what an ideal class size is, but if you can cut down the hours needed to pass a course, people would probably be willing to pay per course directly to the person teaching and everyone would have a better experience

And in this modern world, being able to retrain to new things seems really important given expecting to work a job for 25 years then retire from it seems like something that is getting almost impossible to find if it isnt already

To me, and my rose coloured glasses it seems like an obvious choice if the institutions of learning stopped actually caring about the learning

And things like uber show us we can massively reorganize how we spend time on both sides of supply and demand

Uber is incredibly unethical with how they treat their "contractors" as well as their customers, and that sort of thing is exactly my concern relating to my previous position. An ethical upright institution would be ideal, but decentralizing it might not be any better or worse as a means of achieving that.

Um. Okay.

Im really confused why you are focusing on that part of it. It doesnt need to be unethical, its just profitable and lacks a lot of oversight.

But even if you want to nitpick, uber is still better than the system it has disrupted. Do you to derail this to go on an adventure in the moral and ethical bankruptcy that is the taxi industry???

I feel like a lot of cab companies had more qualified drivers who earned better wages and benefits before Uber reduced their market share.

Well i live in vancouver and it took a bunch of time for uber to be allowed here which may account for that. I personally know a few people who moved from cabs to uber here. They are people i also work with. But again this is way off topic.

Its the tech that uber/lyft/doordash/skipthedishes etc use that is what i brought it up for.

How ethically it is used is a very different story and discussion so im done with this
