Same for me. Good part of the skills I have I learned online through jewtube videos or Udemy. You don't need to pay loads of money to some faggot to give you a paper that certifies you can now do the specific things.
I was a teacher for a short period of time. The first thing I did was throw out everything that the prior teachers did and were teaching then rebuilt the entire program on real-world situations with free docs/books/etc online. I did not teach for a book or a test, I taught for the work.
The students that finished the class all got great jobs right out of graduation and most of them still check up with me on stuff. They were motivated and worked hard but I hope that I imparted a little of the "if you want to, learn it" mentality in them.
