Thanks to technology, we need fewer class rooms. Thanks to technology we need fewer administrators and teachers. Thanks to technology we might even get rid of the special interest unions and teachers will be able to teach without paying a bribe.
"There are more than 10,000 traditional public and 800-plus charter schools in California, and there are a handful of virtual or online charter schools, serving primarily home-schooled students.
Soon, there will be a blend of the two: a hybrid school where students will go every day for seminars and labs led by teacher coaches, but will do most of their learning online, at their own pace."
Look at the money we save, the better quality teaching and the opportunity of children to learn as quickly or slowly as they need--no push for the slow students, and no holding back the advanced students.
What are these schools? "But first, Flex Academies Silicon Valley and San Francisco must prove they’ll work. Mark Kushner, the force behind the schools, is confident they will. He says they’ll provide the best attributes of a traditional school a sense of community, academic supports, clubs and activities and the best attributes of online schools, with their differentiated learning, broad course offerings and continuous feedback through assessments built into the curriculum."
Wow, education geared to the student, not the unions, radicals or other special interests. This is what government education should be doing.
Thanks to the Internet, we may finally allow the public to get educated, instead of propagandized. What do you think of this concept?
