Independent learning (when done right) can be useful and 
important. But that's not how Wikipedia's name is being used here. 
Those who like independent learning have their own names for it. 

Those who call it "Wikipedia education" are the teachers, 
politicians and newspaper editors who dislike it (or how the 
method is being abused to reduce costs for teacher salaries). And 
that's where their abuse of our name becomes our problem.
