The education honchos, the ones who come up with " the latest, greatest ideas" are behind this. It will save Money! Don't have to maintain a physical building! And think of all the teacher saleries that don't get paid!

I don't like the idea, for all the reasons mentioned before. And yes, my DD is a teacher. She went to public schools, and universities all the way through grad school. But I'm going to find out how online classes work, as she is starting her phD work next month.

I cannot imagine my grands learning on line. They have attention spans of gnats. The older one requires OT and PT, daily. How could he do that on a computer?
