There is a missconception that cumputers will replace teachers. Every online class, just like any other class taken any where "requires a teacher", for example, when the student works in the computer lab, they still need the teacher, and the computer becomes the calculator, the pencil and paper, and even the textbook.
It is not only a good idea to require classes online, but also to give the students more access to computers.

We cannot get wired or wireless internet and satellite internet is slower than modem and goes down a lot. We can't even call up the class page.
So we drive and use hot spots.

This is awesome. Keeping up with technology is a must in this evolving world. Hope other states take the same actions. In another 10 years, everything will be offered online.
