Video great teachers for every lesson, then play that in the classrooms.

Sack the worst 10-20% of teachers, or make them just watch the videos and test them. If they pass then they can assist the kids who have questions after watching the videos.

Might be a way of saving money and standardising education ;-))

All we would need is CCTV and wardens to make sure students behaved. Maybe we could also use eyeball scanning techniques to make sure they were looking at the screen for at least 95% of the time, or they get an electric shock/detention etc.

I bet there is a government that will go for this, soon.

Think of the scope:
1 - savings due to all the teacher sackings,
2- the standardising of the education for all kids,
3 - no need to move to a better school catchment area,
4 - Backhanders from the IT firm who get the contract or directorships.

If you could get English as the standardised language across Europe then these videos could be piped into every classroom in UK, Europe, USA, Australia, Canada (make the french speakers conform), India, etc etc.
