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.
