    The Maths Tutor could be a philosopher. The Internet we are enjoying today was created by brilliant minds in California in the 70s and 80s. All of them had “hippy” experience and smoked cannabis and took strong drugs regularly. It is their belief in anti-business culture that made sure the internet would be surprisingly free for every one on this planet. Yes some one has to pay a little amount for Wi-Fi but all others can use it free.

    A Tutor in Mathematics and Science ( very high earning subjects) living in a rented out house is incredible ? His earnings on tuition , if true, is alone enough to lead a luxurious life !

    Internet was invented the for the military. 2019, Oct. 29 was the 50th anniversary of a milestone event that helped shape the modern Internet the first ever computer linkup and the first electronic message sent over the U.S. Defense Department system, known then as ARPANET. Researchers involved in ARPANET’s development feel that history will judge their efforts as having been as important as the Manhattan Project.

    Tuition classes upto O/L must be banned at any cost. The country need all sort of labor force nut just engineers (maths) and doctors (science). The country need farmers very badly now. So please work to abolish all the tuition classes except language because multiple language skill is required to communicate around the world.

    Government must take action to stop these mass tuition classes. Children don't go to school but go to tuition classes instead.
