[Tutor] Fwd: Mailing list chaos.

[David L Neil]

For the benefit of those of us who don't use WhatsApp (or any other 
Facebook-ish medium): is a "class group" literally his own school-class 
or does it comprise all the people in NL/the world attempting that 
subject/topic?

The next question may then be: are students likely to gain greater 
advantage there, or from 'here'?

Which may also lead to the thought: are they better staying in a 
'student community' (my imagination of "class group") or being exposed 
to the views, advice, and work-habits of professionals (who are members 
here)?
(for example, some answers are likely far more precise, or cover highly 
technical/business-oriented scenarios, beyond the typical 'toy examples' 
of high school)

NB I'm not pursuing any 'agenda' to ban/remove 'school students' from 
this list, in asking such questions - I work with adults and have no 
real understanding of how school-kids are running their lives these 
days, so appreciate your observations!
