We are not far away from full-free online tutorial videos. There is already an overwhelming amount on the net - I am sure with time the internet will have more visual/auditory resources than a school could ever provide.
And what about people that learn through tactile-based education? What about people that learn best through dialogs with others?

What about trade schools? Are you going to teach someone woodcarving online?

I disagree. How many people like sitting in a classroom?
Many do, and anyway, much of education does not consist of "sitting in a classroom."

I bet you didn't thoroughly enjoy being stuffed in a classroom all day.
In fact I did, and still do.

I agree, a group of people learning can accomplish a great deal of education, but what are they teaching in schools now? Why should everyone be told what to learn?
Who is telling anyone what to learn? College is an open exploration. You can choose your own major and courses.

If there was a general guideline of how the schools curriculum worked, someone could pick the given subject then gather their own information and form their own opinion on it. Schools are too indoctrine-iny for my likeing.
Yeah that whole trying to help you learn something, that's terrible.
