Very definitely the Teachers and Unions won't like this concept....it's somewhat funny -- using emphasis on the 'social' aspects of High School, dances, sports, lunchroom, etc....The whole point is that kids could learn just as much and probably more by computerization of the best of the teachers/professors in the classroom, and the schools could provide the assemblies, extra curricular activities, etc in the gym, and other assembly halls.. Perhaps the schools of the future will look much more like the Universities of today....minus so many small teaching rooms.

I personally think this is the way of the future. But, the real squabble and fights that will come as to WHO will be the educators on a mass scale will come also.

Can anyone imagine Obama and Obamalike teachers teaching our kids from K-12?

Salman Khan and his organization is taking education in this direction of computer schooling at home. Here he explains the impact of his Khan Academy format and how it's "flipping" the classroom paradigm. I'm a fan.
