I'm surprised you picked geometry - that is one of the most difficult subjects to learn on the internet, in my opinion, because of the benefits of three-dimensional study and being able to work through the problem live, with other people..
What about auditory learners? Not everyone learns well from reading.
I will concede that in certain subjects, for a certain very small subset of the population, the internet might do as good a job as an institution of higher learning, at least when combined with relevant independent study off of the internet (for example, field trips).
But, for the majority of subjects and the vast majority of people, organized education is superior to the internet.
