Independent

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.
