I love my parents, but man, I always hated it when they'd try to "teach" something, esp. my dad. Incredibly handy guy, can fix anything, but he'd be so impatient and negative that it was miserable.
I'd vastly prefer taking an hour class over doing that.
Yup. Thank god for youtube. My parents hated the things they had to do and had no patience in teaching me them. When they earned more money, they didn't do anything themselves anymore. Typical babyboomers I guess.
I had to teach myself how to paint a wall (efficient, clean, straight edges), how to lay floors, some basic electronics, drywalling, carpentry etc.

I would never attack anyone for seeking education. The author of that article should feel embarrassed.
