I think computer training is good for the base material that has to be memorized. Essentially glorified flash cards.
What I see with the move to virtual schools is a validation to home schooling. Imagine if a public school has to compete with virtual schools ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Thus parents could reject PC nonsense history classes and substitute a vitual correct history class from somewhere else.
That's a good point. In our school, so far it has mainly been used for high-achieving students to take courses that aren't offered at our school because there is no one available to teach them, or not enough demand.
