Each and every public school student should be able to "attend" school via online. Teachers should be able to hold classes via online by using Skype, etc. Students will be able to interact with the teacher and also hear classroom questions being asked others. Classrooms simply become virtual. Comcast, AT&T, PBS, any cable carrier should be involved in whatever capacity they can contribute to .... free of charge to families with public school students. Time for everyone to think outside the box. And before anyone starts crying about the cost of all of this or the impossibility of all of this.....don't be a naysayer and come up with ideas on how to make this possible ...not why this cannot happen. Time for more creativity on how to get our students FULLY educated, not just a little bit. College classes have been available online for years now.
