This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To be fair most education oriented YouTubers that I've seen completely blow every single one of my schoolteachers out of water.

I sure wish I had access to 3blue1brown when I was in school.

This is definitely mostly true, with several reasons applying.

  • The best rise to the top. You don't see the bad ones on YouTube.

  • The can teach in a variety of ways. Some will mesh with your learning method, others won't (but mesh with other people's methods).

  • You only need 1. Schools need 1000s of teachers, and they each only teach a few students. An online YouTuber can teach 1,000,000s, if they are good enough.

  • No paperwork. 80% of a teacher's job is paperwork. 15% is playing nanny to a bunch of kids, 5% is actually doing the teaching.
