Recently, several teachers have succeeded in raking in huge profits out of organizing online classes, which, with their obvious advantages such as the convenience for learners and cheaper tuition fees, cater to the call for after-school instruction. While their high earnings have provoked fierce criticism from some of the conservative public, I fully support this up-to-date online education for two main reasons.
Firstly, online education is student-friendly in its both inexpensive and convenient way of service. Compared with the traditional class whose tuition fees can soar to 200 yuan for a single tutoring class, one online class charges much lower instead. Furthermore, course applicants can attend classes at any fragmented time, at any accessible place and study at their own pace. Secondly, online education is teacher-friendly. While the traditional curriculum has a stodgy control over teachers' choice of textbooks and teaching contents, teachers of online education can either choose and compile teaching materials according to the students' needs in avoidance of uniformity from "streamlined education", or they can try innovative teaching ways. Sometimes they can even introduce a few gimmicks to attract students which are totally denied in the traditional classrooms. More encouragingly, teachers who are well-acclaimed for their mastery of teaching can earn a decent salary in return for their efforts.
To sum up, online education not only brings cheaper tuition fees and better education for students, but also provides more freedom and a richer life for teachers. There is no doubt that the new form of education will continue to benefit both the teachers and the students.
