SLC problems are:

1. It is by far not meant for everyone (those who join already have the knowledge which means starters make no chance).
2. The language barrier is a huge problem: teachers do not speak the same language as the students (low educated cannot learn anything because they have no idea what is meant)
3. There is no interaction (not with teachers, students, no commenting)
4. The SLC lessons are always the same - week after week basically the same is taught and if you are new you are told to work yourself through the old lessons first.
5. You are forced to buy tools, items to join/repairments or tricks that don't work because situations differ.
6. There is never a break and everyone has a life at a certain point you simply had it with the tasks, videos, struggles with internet/data and the neverending proof you are not a robot!
   Schools have vacation why does SLC not?
7. Six weeks is too long. A course of 2x 3 weeks or 3x 3 weeks through one year would be better to adapt what is taught and try it out. Next to that, it gives room for a job and private life not to mention connecting with others and having fun.
8. If you kick out the writers/artists, and are not willing to stimulate what you preached for years there's no way to change this overnight just because you are afraid of AI.

I like to add:

• As far as I know "teachers" could always come up with an idea of what to teach.
  Why did people want to teach? For the money. With SLC the average Steemian made a chance instead of mainly the same communities where on average most Steemians never would post. How many of those hundreds remained posting in those communities? The payment was the only reason why everyone was super enthusiastic same for the "students" since it was the biggest chance to receive an upvote from SC01 and SC02.

Freedom to teach: It is difficult to teach what you have no knowledge or affinity for. The fact that the Steemit Team does not like "many" of these courses is something else. The fact that people teach nonsense to be a teacher is a direct result of what is "asked" and the result of the need for money (greed, power or high need, you don't create loyalty with this).

• There are no fun courses, just like the platform lacks fun, lacks interaction, it's more like a huge bundle of musts, rules and stress. Forced upon by a small group of Steemians (Admins, Mods, SRs and so on) the community Newcomers (with the lack of greeters/personality) is an example - where no one reads or notices the difference. Steemit is not flexible and able to jump into fresh ideas to map the platform also because joining hands turns out to be nearly impossible! (A good example is Steem x Gaming).

• The SLC was a good follow-up of the SEC where AI comments were generated faster than any text and were rewarded.
  What we see now are rewards for teachers who do not connect with their students (too busy, no data, the team (???) gives the grades, the vocabulary is from a level the average student doesn't understand, and, and, and...).
  Those always been rewarded are the ones who already know.

If #learnwithsteem means you already should be skilled or are more skilled than the teacher, the question arises: What is the point in joining?

Positive

is that people don't care about an SC upvote or figured out the chance of such a vote is not worth all the trouble.
Trouble it is if it does not bring any energy and you have to climb mountains to be able to join. A YouTube video is more helpful.

The same positive counts for the prizes set with MWW #miner-wewrite. No extra entries because of 60 or 70 Steem, no rush to join because of support by @steemchiller.
This means the motivation is there and we don't attract the farmers and AI users but those who really like to write which is to me most important. Let's be fair 99.8% of all those on Steemit are no writers and over 50% most likely hate it.

Is SLC going downhill?

No, it's back where it started. Unnoticed to 95% if not more of all Steemians. A platform for investors, social media is not joined to learn something you don't need and can find way faster elsewhere.

Invisible are

• Steemitblog
• All lessons ever taught (starting with beginner lessons)
• Clear material, clear answers
• If you don't know about it you will never find it.
• If you heard about it you cannot find it!

This post is a comment on what @aneukpineung78 posted about SLC decline and also a steempro.com test see post written by aneukpineung78

• Negative - signing in with more than 1 account: keeps
  glitching/refusing. I wanted to remove the first account which is hard, turned out to be impossible (password) strangely enough the refused account was added. 🤯
• Negative: not able to make the "encrypted" password visible. I like to see what I typed!
• Negative: choosing a community! I cannot see my own communities first, not the ones I moderate meaning the only solution is to unsubscribe from communities I never or rarely post in. Is this the idea?
• Negative: the small window to write in.
• Negative: The way justified text looks at a phone. It feels ad if the text at the right is cut off.
• Negative: justifying text isn't done in a neat way. The white rooms between words do not have the same size like in books. Solution?

Note: I did not use markdowns except the buttons available (H - picture - justifying text). There's no centring for the picture I assume that if this is required it is built in (and I don't mean templates which shrink photos into the size of a stamp!) which I doubt is time-saving

First impression steempro.com:

• Positive: User-friendly layout, similar to boylikegirl.club although that site has issues running on mobile phones. Let's see how this one responds (no I don't want apps).
• Positive: I switched screens/sites 3x to create the picture and look for two links and the draft didn't disappear.

• Positive: clicking justifying (or another layout button) after you are finished.
