RE: School Shootings are a Tragedy. It's Time to Ban Schools.
I have been saying for years that brick and mortar schools are going to be gone in a generation or two, who wants to pay for heat and books and lights and janitors and busses and run the risk of violence?
I hope you're right. But there's still the problem that half of the families out there are single parent, and the rest need both parents to work to make ends meet. So I'm thinking schools might continue to fulfill their role as day care centers for a good while longer. At least until working from home becomes more commonplace.
Come to think of it. "A generation or two?" You might be right on the money.
I think universities will probably go first, though. The higher education bubble is way overdue for a popping.
It's just a matter of time until the parents of the kids in school went to an online school and so the accept it for their kids. The school app will act as a babysitter as well, it will track the kids locations and activities.
