| I touched on online school last week, but do you suspect that 'classrooms and chalkboards' will someday deemed old fashion and obsolete, and that our educational structure will eventually move online; handled through things like social networking sites? | |

| I'm sure it will be online in some form. My grandson was home-schooled and had a satellite hookup for his classes.
There will still need to be adult to supervise the kids but could be regional, like a classroom in a library with online hookup. | |

| I have already had one of my stepson's teachers say that handwriting is becoming obsolete since everything is typed and that it will eventually no longer be taught. WTF? | |

| The abacus is obsolete. It could be, but I don't think it will. | |

Just because a lot of young stupid people are willing to give up on it doesn't mean though that we should steer straight into that skid. | |

| I suspect that even with traditional classroom settings for college, less seat time in the classroom will become the norm, with some content only available online. | |
