School as a service

Many schools have adopted the MOOC (massive open online course) model — like the classes at Coursera — which helped solve the problem of getting well-qualified teachers at public schools. Now students listen to star teachers either from home or in a classroom (if parents work and cannot leave a child alone in the flat), and then teachers who are not as cool help students understand the material. As a result, distance no longer makes a difference in the quality of education, and there is no need to take a child to a school that is on the other side of the city. Old-fashioned classes like PE and crafts lessons have been replaced by new ones such as 3-D modeling.

There are still schools with a “classic” teaching model, but not everyone can afford them.

Cristian Faber It's 2023 and having presence classes already doesn't make sense anymore. Online training should be the norm for disciplines that only require reading, memorizing, writing, calculating and speaking (humanities and most of STEM). For disciplines that require lab work, physical work and building/assembling, students would schedule slots at smaller and decentralized facilities, monitored remotely by teachers or AI.

Eric Poyntz This would be great! I am guessing their is either a translator within the video or whatever they're watching or would each language have its specific expert

Christopher Garrard I agree with the concept, but I would hope that in the future, we realise the importance of PE rather than replacing it.
