Sure a good way to save money, and it accelerates the "dumbing of america". Just 17 more years till the white guy is a forgotten minority, guess my grand kids should start learning chinese or hindu.
It would save money. They wouldn't have to have a daycare at our local high school for the kids of unwed school girls. They could stay at home and switch from Jerry Springer to Algebra. They wouldn't have to get up early and catch the bus. They wouldn't have to participate in all of those extracurricular activities like band, or sports. And then when they graduate they can get a job where they can telecommute and stay at home and raise their kids til the age of 47. Distant training is appropriate for some things but not all.
