In my view we are paying too much for this "traditional education" , a system that did not improve much .

Long ago , I thought governments should hire the best teachers , record their lessons in video and then distribute through internet & to all public libraries (in DVD format , for example) , so students would download or borrow these videos (plus books) to watch/read at home .

This way all students of a country would have the (same) best teachers and at a fraction of the cost because :
1. not many more teachers would be required to just answer (online & face-to-face) some student's questions ,
2. school would not need classrooms (could be transformed into few offices for teachers + library + sports/recreational center) .

People are also suggesting that AI bots can do that now. However, for most learners that just won’t work. Students need to collaboration and interaction of working with peers. Teachers still play a vital human role in connecting, motivating, and cajoling learners to keep improving and learning.

"Cajoling"...i love it.
That's the parents part, not the teacher.
