Me too. I missed the cut as the technology was not available when I was of age, but I know I would have thrived with on line classes. I went to one of those fancy liberal colleges in the Northeast. Sure beautiful campus and we sure had fun but the cost was simply not justified. I've learned so much with the technology available today watching on line documentaries, professional continuing education classes and instructional videos on things that simply peeked my interest that its hard for me to believe this isn't the way forward.
I feel we are just protecting an antiquated system out of tradition and to protect an elitist group of professional educators and their ever expanding pool of administrators. If the government starts underwriting this they will only milk it more. Harvard paid Elizabeth Warren several hundred thousand dollars to teach one class. No more!
