You are not eating *for* them or to help *them*. Your eating is a lesson of
privilege, good fortune, humility and possibly humbleness?
Those ideas never crossed my mind when a kid and had the thought how does that help them.
As a teenager and adult I am well aware of my many blessings.
Some classes will need to be on campus such as chemistry, and other
hands-on classes. But for things like history, English, etc will be on line.
In the liberal arts, actual "Art" would still need a building: painting,
sculture, etc..
That's why I didn't write everything can be done online.
Same thing with medicine. They would still need labs.
See below.
To me an open book test doesn't test if the student knows the answer
but how to look up the answer.
In some cases people need to know in their head whatever.
I wouldn't want a doctor saying "Oh, this person has these symptoms. Let
me check the book to know what it is and what to do".
Same with someone playing around with various chemicals. Or designing/erecting a building, bridge, etc.
This is one reason I so dislike true/false answers. Its a 50/50 guess. Doesn't really tell anyone anything how they got to that answer.
