I agree completely.

The technological revolution brought to us by the desktop computer has the potential to change education as we know it. There is absolutely no reason why public education should be restricted to publicly housed educational systems. Students should be able to survey and approach the sum total of their educational needs and requirements on an individual basis. We could completely remove the public education system as a tool of socialization. Students who are able to study and achieve beyond the rest should be able to meet their requirements outside of the classroom.

It's not just the primary grades that has this potential. College education also has the potential to exist outside the lecture halls and the administration by PhDs.
