The University of Tokyo will start offering two online open courses for anyone in the world this September. The university recorded the lectures for one of the courses, about the origins of the universe, on Thursday. The University of Tokyo will offer the free courses, conducted in English, through a global open online system called 'Coursera', launched last year by professors at Stanford University in the United States.

With all the information of all time freely available on-line, the model of learning is going to move away from traditional .gov schools. imo
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
There are telecommuters, so why not telestudents? I hope you're right. ------------------------------------------ We have the same thing here in the states. You don't get college credit but you get the knowledge.
Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! People will still pay thru the nose here in the States. The average student loan is app. $30k, with their interest soon to double to 6.5%. There is no way Uncle Sam is going to give that up.
Upcoming offerings of Bukkake for Beginners?? Samurai Swordsmanship 101?? God bless...........

Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.

I can see them trying. There is also the property tax issue. Not sure what it's like where you are, but here a substantial % of tax revenue goes to schools. But there is such a thing as competition (which doesn't exist now). A group of smart people can still make money. This is tailor made for homeschooling and the networking that can go along with it. There is really no need for a school building and other overhead expenses. I suppose it might depend on whether or not the jews and their enablers screw it up like they did with TV, which was supposed to be educational, and the lotteries which were supposed to go towards schools, and the internet which is for facebook attention whores and porn (not that porn is bad. It's only bad if you pay for it) There is no way Uncle Sam is going to give that up.
