Brian Kelly writes, "I suspect that, in part, my unease may reflect personal experiences (first in the family, from the working class town of Bootle, to go to University, which provided me with new opportunities) ; political disagreements with the notion that what may be good for self-motivated students (such as those who have benefitted from attendance at fee-paying public schools) will be forced on those who will benefit from learning provided by traditional institutions (whether such learning is mediated by technology or not) and professional concerns regarding the questioning of the benefits of technology (again, I'm not saying that such questions shouldn't be asked)." I don't equate lack of motivation with the lower classes; quite the opposite - to survive at all, the poor must be motivated every day. It is the rich who can coast and have other people write their essays for them.
