Who Needs Schools?0
“My real question, I guess, is what activity is so well suited to face-to-face contact that it can’t be replicated online?”
This is a really good question. What I think is that technology has impacted our lives so much people don’t think that it will change very much. What about in ten to fifteen years when everything has changed. What about schools and the way they work. I think that right now, we do need schools only because not many people own a computer. But, everyone eventually will and then I agree with you 100%. Everyone will probably own a computer in the future since it is becoming so important. What I really think is that our towns should not be paying all this money for the schooling. The taxes should goo down and we should have schools online. We would not have to pay for paper for our schools our electricity. We can do all of our work in our pajamas!We would not even have to go to school. I think that we don’t have to come face to face for schooling anymore and maybe in five years that will change. Students will be able to learn a lot more and not fall asleep in class because they won’t have to wake up early. Students would not have to worry about there appearance and worry about schooling, there education. I think that maybe once a month the class should meet up somewhere like a field trip and base it on what they are learning. Students would be able to learn things better because they can find a lot of information online. People do need to develop skills in talking to people and telling speeches and maybe that can be a project that each student will have to do that once a month when they meet. people’s lives are going to get changed dramatically, they just are not thinking about it yet.
