Classroom Lecture is dead.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Absolutely! While there are some reasons to have some classroom meetings most of what is taught in college can be taught online at almost no cost and tested using privately administered certifying exams.

Even in professions such as medicine, dentistry, nursing ( etc.) many of the courses in these programs involve very routine knowledge that should be placed on-line (for free or very **low** cost) and tested using privately administered certifiable qualifying exams.

Plus, we simply cannot any longer afford the infrastructure of collective learning, government or otherwise - bricks, mortar, heating, cooling, teacher's salaries, teacher's retirements, overpaid "administrators" - the costs are pure waste.
