[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are not set up for DL and the teachers don't have the experience to do DL. If DL was a requirement then you would need to fire all the teachers and hire certified DL teachers and buy a lot more technology equipment. It's like putting tesla wheels on a horse-drawn carriage and expecting it to perform like a tesla, not going to happen.[/quote]

We'll see a shift, but it won't happen in a day. Probably we will end up purchasing curricula from private companies or otherwise creating efficiencies with districts around the country (and world,) and teachers will take on roles that are more like grad students in large undergrad lecture classes: They'll grade work, answer questions, and give individual attention, but won't be primarily responsible for managing curricula or delivering content.

This is more true for older than younger student: The younger they are, the more we'll stick with traditional in-person teaching (as we learn to appreciate the value of multi-sensory, group-based educational models.) [/quote]
