The Myth about DISTANCE EDUCATION

Does DISTANCE EDUCATION mean it is just waste of time ?
That is the general feeling I am getting after sitting in class for 12 weekends.
I do not know why the institute cannot raise the number of sessions that students attend. The students also have to understand that they have come here to study/learn or acquire some knowledge. Ofcourse we missed the bus during our early years( when we should have studied) and we are trying to make it up now. This is our second chance we atleast need to put an effort to atleast GAIN what we lost during our initial years. The students have to be a more realistic and practical. Each one has paid a lot of money, to get here why can't they take the next step. They have knocked on the door, the door has opened they are refusing to get inside.

I am not sure what is stopping them from entering an opened door.

Is it the fear of hardwork, or fear of some unkonwn. WHY ? WHY? WHY ?
You are doing it to yourself and onto others who want to achieve something out of this.

I think we can keep aside the money they spend,effort and all other things what about the 12 weeks that you lost if you have not gained anything. May you could have been better off doing something else rather than sitting in the class for 12 long weekend. If this froth bets removed then we could definitely have a better model for distance education.

I am sorry I have to write this because, if the numbers reduce then we would have meaning full class sizes and hence lesser batches and hence better standard for the course that we are undertaking.
In this case the number game will come to spoil sport and the institute may not conduct these courses or it may become a bit more expensive but atleast there will be some value for the time that we are spending.

Distance education with a laid back approach is not good at all we are making more inefficient managers and business administrators. Like the IT industry is ranting there are lot of engineers but the readily employable engineers are very less. This is due to the various other reasons that would need another blog .
