Teachers over 40 need to prepare their plan B. WI is the template to get rid of tenured teachers.

16. Excuse me, but 1.) This is my THEORY of what public education may be like in 15 - 20 years.

You're being overly defensive. Now get out of your feelings - I didn't say that I was in favor of the on-line system or that it was better than the current system. I'm just saying that money-wise and business-wise, I'm following the public education issue to its logical conclusion.

2.) The implementation of this on-line educational system is the reason that teachers and teachers' unions are under attack.

3.) No matter how much you try to belittle ME or on-line educations, you can't change the fact that on-line education is INCREDIBLY cost-efficient! It's smart business to at least try it this way for some of the students before implementing district/county/state-wide.

4.) You and the overpriced si-diddyfied advanced class that you teach will probably be the first class that your university makes available on-line. Why? Because your university can make more money video-taping your lectures for posterity and offering the course on-line.

If 200 people sign up for your advanced class, great! But if only 2 people want to sign up for your advanced class, the university can send you on an unpaid sabbatical, then press play on the video-taped lectures that you were required to make in advance to use with the lesson plan that you were required to turn in. Your university will still be able to afford to present the class to only 2 on-line students while you're not even there...............
