The Wordsmith's Forge

When I say "write classes" I mean write classes. I actually had one high school teacher who distributed handouts instead of a textbook: he couldn't find a book that met his standards, so he just wrote things himself, which were much better than history textbooks. Online classes can be taught from a textbook or reading list, but they don't have to be if your teachers know the material well enough to present it themselves. But that takes time and work; if you don't pay people decently, few of them are willing to do that. I've used both methods in my online classes.
