Holy mackerel!

A government agency is spending $89,000 to convert 2 hours of classroom content to an online format. The contract assumes the task will take 766 hours. How would it be physically possible to take that many hours? That is 19 weeks of full time labor.

Meanwhile I get paid $0.00 to convert 50+ hours into an online class. I am in the wrong industry!

I used to laugh at the absurdity of those books "Make six figures teaching on-line" now I think maybe all the authors had this agency as a client !
