With the invention of the personal computer and the advent of the Internet, teachers became utterly obsolete. Society just hasn't fully realized it yet. In twenty more years, the idea of herding forty kids into a makeshift prison cell to be lectured to by a "C" student with a minimal command of the curriculum will seem as bizarre and backward as the medical practice of bloodletting to treat disease does today.

That reminds me of a common statement about lawyers.

Those who graduate with A's and A-'s become Law Professors.
Those who graduate with B's and B-'s become judges.
Those who graduate with C's become the practicing lawyers...and politicians!
