[Tom Pickford]

I think this is absolute genius and if it does happen it will make the world a much better place

You really think government will allow free people to demonstrate how crappily they've been running education since the common school system came into practice >100 years ago?

[Kumaraswamy Kademane]

With so much of interactive and integrated learning in the air these days, future will be filled with only wannabees, and creative people will be snubbed. In the history of the world all creative people are introverts and like working alone in their private place, eg: Newton, Einstein, Elliot, spiel berg, Mahatma Gandhi, and many more. Including I feel, the founder of this academy. Good teachers will be dominated by loud mouth teachers..........

[SonOfNye]

The classroom model yes, teachers will still be needed until we get hard AI.

[WazziBerry]

Wow, I thought online classes would make teachers obsolete... thank you for reassuring me otherwise! I love this video.

I think 2060 will be more like Idiocracy. It seems like there are way too many stupid people today despite the fact that we have tons of information at our fingertips, but most choose not to learn, not because they can't but because they don't want to. We will get more and more people who refuse to work for anything and just expect to be taken care of. The populace is only as smart as it wants to be. Unless we find a way to take the work out of learning our populace will just get dumber.

they already teach reading like this the students are assigned a seen of hamlet and to read and then the class time will be spend disusing it or there have to write a book report on Moby-Dick. I think for the subject you list tho for the core of them you are correct a small group will be better.

[AnthonyDavisChannel]

How can you possibly learn Reading or Grammar like this...? This may help math and sciences, but languages and social studies? I don't think so.

[James McKinney]

I think the demand for 'master teachers' and continued education is very real. Some select few have already been capitalizing on it by setting themselves up as experts and organizing seminars. If people can see the value in learning they will be willing to pay properly for that knowledge.

[WeaselWJ]

I couldn't agree more. You said just what I was thinking.
