In 25 years, the current educational model for secondary education will be largely dead for a substantial portion of the American population due to technology.

I'm ready for robot teachers.

Will robot teachers also have sex with students?

A lot of school districts have been using technology for remote teaching. It goes like this. Urban HS has 2 students who want to take Physics. You can't hire a teacher to teach 2 kids physics. So the 2 kids spend the hour in a room in front of a screen showing Physics class at Suburban HS where 20 students are taking physics. They can talk to the teacher and the teacher can talk to them remotely.

With regard to delivery platform, I don't believe we're two and half decades away from the metamorphosis you're suggesting.
Brick and mortar school houses are not the future of education.
With regard to curriculum, we're already behind the curve. Change is long over due.

My daughter's high school physics teacher told us that she doesn't teach she facilitates. All of the knowledge they need they can find themselves and she guides them.
True.
True.

I can't wait for costs of education to catch up to the increased productivity achieved through this metamorphosis. Where are the savings? Gobbled up by the bureaucracy?

false.
we havent evolved from taking summer breaks yet, i doubt technology changes secondary education that much in 25 years.

46 out of 50 states have school districts operating year round. It amounts to about 10% of public school students.
Needs to increase. kids no longer needed to help on family farm.

I'm not sure about remote education. An important part of school is social interaction with other students. Most of the home school kids I've met are very socially awkward due to the isolation of home schooling. Remote education could probably do the same.

meh....I'd guess a substantial part of this is explained by the type of people who are early adopters of this non-traditional education method.
So..."odd parents" are disproportionately open to doing this. Therefore, odd children are disproportionately being home schooled. That is not to say ALL are. Just a larger proportion. It is becoming much more accepted and adopted.
It was once the "nerds" and "dweebs" that had computers and played video games. It is completely mainstream now.

I don't disagree. Im not opposed to unspecified technological advances rendering our current model obsolete, im just skeptical it will ever happen given that we, for the most part, still operate schools for only 3/4s of the year.

From what I've read the arguments against going year round are not very compelling compared to the benefits of keeping students engaged.
Cost is the most critical issue but the cost of education is more political than practical anyway.

Based on a few answers, I'd like to add.
I noted that some people referenced current home schooling and how school today is also for socialization.
I submit that the entire paradigm will shite. The home schoolers are the first movers, but they are NOT the final product.
For example. I submit that 25 years from now, there will be an entire social apparatus around the children who are distance/tech learning.
Today, home schoolers are still the extreme exception. They account for less than 4% of total students and even that is concentrated at younger ages.
And even THEN, there are already budding social structures in some locations.
Let that number get to 20% or more and the tipping point will create a cascade.
This is going to create some social upheaval folks. As the tech gets better, the smarter kids, afforded the ability to work at a more accelerated rate, are going to fly by the rest. Let me be blunt here. Public school today exists at least partially to ensure the divide between the best and worst students is minimized. Technology will throw the shackles off.
