As technology advances, why do we need to even keep the traditional school model?

Hear me out before downvoting. Other than defacto daycare for parents and steady paychecks for school related employees, why do hundreds of children need to be forced to gather by government in a defenseless environent on a daily basis? Small groups with scattered web based classrooms could probably learn just as well.

And before someone says ‘socialization’ I will just mention that children were able to socialize and form relationships before government mandated schools and they have even more options to do so today.

Start paying parents to school their kids on a merit based system. better grades = better pay. I would be down.

Would be called racist and only beneficial to whites.

Socialization is literally the only thing our schools were doing ok at 10 years ago, and now, they're even failing at that. Our entire schooling model, corriculum, schedule, etc. is all wrong.

The public school system keeps a lot of thot teachers off the streets for 9 months out of the year.

but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.


This is from Podesta’s email leak on Wikileaks.
They will never give up the indoctrination farm the liberal Teacher’s Union and Democratic Party is running.
I think schools should be abandoned and all education taught on-line with kids going to school only to test and for extracurricular activities like band or ball.
They do this during the winter in northern states now already.
It’s not like it was at school in the 70’s and 80’s.
We are destroying generations with the liberal schools

frick this. A majority of people’s fond memories in life come from the school days. That’s such a cool part of being a person, you’re thrown in this fishbowl with other people and you’re forced to develop relationships. I think it’s a net positive experience even if some things do need to be rethought.

I agree with this. I have access to the same information in my pocket.

And I think the quality of education would greatly suffer if entirely online. The competitive aspect was a big thing for me in high school, and it is an important part of a well rounded education to have class wide debates and discussions. Both of those aspects are completely lost with the online model.

No. We can't trust parents to properly teach children progressive ideals, the Govt must ensure this happens to continue our march toward progress

Technology allows us to do homeschooling with rock star instructors. Who’s going to start the trend?

You assume incorrectly that tech has not reached public education.

Currently parents send their kids to schools full of children parented by strangers who might have been torturing theirs immediately prior to sending them off. Parents have no idea what kinds of horror stories other children at that school have witnessed or been victims of, or what kinds of mental illnesses they’re suffering.

Seems like a better idea to school in smaller groups where parents are more familiar with each other.

Yep. The only benefit to brick and mortar schools these days is socialization. I suppose it's good for kids to associate, make friends, etc. But as for "learning" I've learned far more in self-study since I got out of school than I ever did in school.

Web based education is the future I think.

Many schools are garbage...but there are excellent schools that do a great job of preparing students for life. School is also a place where you learn to be a social member of your community.

The 8-3 model is antiquated and dumb. The optimal future is doing away with public schools and only having private schools that can choose whoever they want. Tax breaks or vouchers for those who are poor. Schools can choose however they want to educate and award diplomas. Hell you may choose to send your kid to different schools for different days of the week depending on what those schools offer.
