(4,840 posts)I'm not going to try and push an unattractive idea but maybe someday someone will explain exactly why it's a bad idea? Maybe it's because it threatens people's livelihoods?, which I freely admit is one of its cons.

So yea, there would always be exceptions where a human teacher could never be phased out.
I am talking about the demographic of the population for whom, once a certain proficiency of reading has been reached, they would fit the model for online schooling based on past successes in that demo.
But I'm sure this is much too controversial still so you don't have to provide a point by point refutation. I'll accept your thumbs down and leave it at that.
