[quote=Anonymous]If distance education is perfectly acceptable, we can simply hire teachers occasionally to update videotaped lectures. We do not need to have or support physical school buildings which will safe a bunch of infrastructure costs. Those can be restricted for those few students who need in-person interaction like occupation therapy, hand-over-hand instructions, and similar. Parents will know going in to having children that they will have access to the videotaped lessons, but if their child needs anything else, including supervision or tutoring, those will need to provided at their expense. We will also save a small fortune on teachers, because one standard videotaped lesson can be shared with unlimited children. Also, we can outsource to cheaper teachers, which means even if we do need to provide synchronous educational opportunities we can save money.

I think this is a win for everyone. Except maybe teachers, and the people who support physical school buildings, and those who benefit from proximity to physical school buildings.

And children. But if teachers are going to argue that distance learning is fine, who am I to quibble. I'll look on the bright side. We can take the money we have been pouring into public education and put it into crumbling infrastructure.[/quote]
