Just about every college and university and even training institution is offering on-line classes now. It's fantastic when you live in the back of nowhere, like I do. The reason it is not being done with K-12 so much yet is that it requires heavy parental buy-in and like I said before, most parents are working.There are still quite a few folks that don't have the internet; internet is NOT free with basic cable service, you know. A lot have only a phone, not a computer. I have some students that don't even have a phone. In order to be the ONLY option, EVERYONE would have to have the necessary tools.You don't need books. You're online. Who doesn't have WiFi? If you have cable you have WiFi. Instead of being negative why not look at the positive aspects?
If you are talking about it being an option, that's different, and probably if parents are willing to stay home and make sure their kids are actually doing their school time, it will be used more and more.
NEVER said only option but it should be an option.
Yeah, Let's talk about those online classes that everyone is taking! Students who study online do not retain any information like they do in "live" classes. That's why schools like University of Phoenix gets you laughed at when you present your degree!
Even Harvard had online classes. Stop it.
You stop it. People have no respect for online classes because they suck, no matter what the school. Obama was a constitutional law instructor but got slammed by his own Supreme Court. AOC supposedly has an education in economics and you know how stupid she is!
Cheating in online classes runs rampant.
