I am guessing they have taken responsibility for themselves to make these connections for all the reasons listed above -- lack of stimulating classrooms, increased social connections, etc. How will schools leverage this new learning mode/environment/ecology? Secondary schools must be observant of the students all around them and take notice that kids do learn and can learn. They have found their niche! Now, let the students go! mike m.

Perhaps this is because mobile pay as you go tariffs are more managable on a budget. Just as electricity meters which require prepayment are popular with people from poorer households. They can work out a lot more expensive though in terms with service received vs outlay. So that's the tradeoff.
