I have really enjoyed distance learning.

Hopefully this trend will put a lot of commie professors out of work.

Thanks for posting. Looks very interesting.

Great, start off your entire reason for existence on a false premise.

That being said, I wish the Marxist-infected traditional university system a swift death. There is nothing it can do that online education can't do better, faster, cheaper, and with far broader appeal.

I would make the claim that this is happening organically. My friend’s son is a Freshman at college (big state college) and he says that after the first week or so only about 15% of the kids bother showing up for class. The kids can get the lecture notes, or the video or the audio or whatever online. I don’t know how many do this or how carefully they study (probably not very because he also says a lot of kids are failing in some of his classes) but just to point out that class attendance is already very low.

Gee, I was reading a letter in our editorial section today from a man who discussed how teachers feel that parents don’t support the schools verus parents who don’t think they’re listened to by school administrators. His answer: cyberschooling.
