Education use to be an individual effort then the corporate world

decided production circles or teams were the latest fad.

Soon after schools started switching over to study groups or team learning. Usually 1 student did the assignment or knew how to use a browser and the team just cheered and got an A.

Except testing sort of remain an individual effort and all hell broke lose and we turned to home schooling or charter schools. A great excuse to bust unions and dump senior staff for lower wage room monitors.

Well this has finally moved up the ladder to Harvard, where students cheated on a take home, open book test in a course titled Into to Congress.

And we wonder why people just pay for a stay at home degree. Willy Sutton would be embarrassed.
