E-Education
In their March 23 commentary, “E-Education, the Opposite of Equality,†professors Teresa Ebert and Mas’ud Zavarzadeh slam the concept of a free college education via the Internet by claiming, “Cyberstudents are thus trained to have the necessary skills and information processing to function in the factories and e-enterprises owned and managed by those educated in elite universities.â€
I find this statement ironic, since many of today’s most successful e-enterprises were founded by people who, in fact, dropped out of, or never even attended, elite universities and thus avoided being exposed to the kind of anachronistically Marxist, ivory-tower drivel these two professors espouse.
