I would not like to be fired. Being fired would be tantamount to the public no longer paying me for spreading my knowledge. I would suffer, but so too would the public and the kids I teach. Why?
-Videos cannot answer questions.
-Videos cannot expand ideas beyond the recording.
-Videos cannot collect and gather NEW knowledge.
-Videos cannot monitor classroom behavior.
-Videos cannot nurture the social interaction between humans.
People would be welcome to tape my lessons and post them online, as long as I still got paid to teach them. My point is that knowledge requires SOME people to pay for its creation and distribution, but everyone who accesses that knowledge does not need to pay to do so.
