Of course I would like to provide you with free personal tutoring on a complex topic based on answering one Stack Overflow question.

@KathyReid Isn’t that what one does? 😛 I get people asking me to explain papers that I boost because apparently they can’t be bothered to read the original paper I mentioned …

@f I wonder where the expectation comes from? Does our school system shape people to expect that sort of personal tutoring?

@KathyReid You might have something there. I’ve often wondered about how most educational systems are about “teachIng” people rather than helping them to learn for themselves. Most people seem to want others to tell them stuff rather than going out and finding the information themselves.

I’ve found this very puzzling. But my wife says that I’m not “normal” 😛
