I would concur completely, especially at the younger grades. Of course, the form of that social interaction could vary from day to day, and whether it will take the form of 40 classes, each with 20 kids and a 100k+ a year teacher (at some future point), is what we are speculating on. Also, whether that would be five days a week, 40 weeks a year, or potentially 3-4 days a week, 50 weeks a year, with the other time spent learning in a different methodology. Again, we may not yet be ready, but it’s coming…at some point down the road.

I’m not against technology, but I’d love to hear what a psychologist/social worker type would think of this. Much of attending school classes, especially in middle schools, is learning how to be a “social” person – interacting with others in real life.
