The Ten Ton Crusade!

The Ten Ton Crusade!

Ten Ton is on a crusade against bad teaching. Bottom line is, there’s a severe lack of quality training that gives learners exactly what they want. The "learning industry" (including colleges, training institutions, video-based training companies, and so on) is full of out-of-work designers, hacks, and wannabe superstars. After all, if you can’t find work, you can always "teach." I’ve got a big problem with that. Simply knowing how a piece of software works doesn’t mean you can teach it — just as owning a camera doesn’t make you a photographer. I love teaching, and it truly is a combination of skills and character traits; subject knowledge accounts for about half of what makes a great teacher. Problem is, a lot of instructors think they can teach. They should stop. This is not amateur hour at the Roxy. This is your education (that you laid out your hard-earned money for) that we’re talking about!
