Level but not equal...

It is naive to consider that sitting in a class with the same teacher means the education is "equal" for all. We all start from different points of background, parenting, nutrition, etc. all of which influence our ability to learn, which is the most important part of "education." Education for that reason can never be equal.

Only online courses done right can come close to making possible "individual" attention and flexibility for different capacities of concentration, memory, synthesis and on and on, IF done right.

CocoLoco to Learn (CocoLoco por Apender) WILL come closer to making that possible for anyone who realizes that they both need to learn and will benefit and be better off for having this type of learning available and then taking advantage of it.

in reference to:

"If everyone had the same education, the inequality of income would be reduced by less than 10 percent. When you focus on education you neglect the myriad of other factors that determine income. The differences of income among people who have the same education are huge.”"
