Education is undergoing a huge revolution right now. The very reason why we're discussing Tau is because it is part of the revolution. (Ha ha, I have to step back and laugh at the pun.)
The current education revolution has been enabled by internet multimedia. Because of YouTube, those teachers who choose to not teach Tau to their students will have Tau taught to them by their students.
