As Bob Dylan sang, “Oh the times they are a changin’!”
A massive amount of material is available on-line. The only ingredient missing are certifiable and guaranteed qualifying exams for specific areas of knowledge. The certifiable and guaranteed exams could start with individual first grade subjects and proceed through to individual graduate school courses work.
Even a great deal of the material taught in professional schools, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacology,...etc. is **very** routine stuff and could easily be placed on-line.
By the way....If the state K-12 schools and universities are **taxpayer** supported why hide this information from the taxpayer? All courses from 1st through graduate school should be placed on-line ( even professional courses found in professional schools such as medical and law ) and copy of the textbooks placed in all city and county libraries.
Of course it could, and this scares the ever living sh-t out of the big education establishment scam. Just like the buggy whip industry......fighting to stop the automobile. How'd that turn out????
