Charter schools seem like the best opportunity to vet this style/evolution of education.

There are sure to be holes, like does this lead to treating the in person teacher as a commodity and reducing the value of that in person time?

But definitely this is a time for disruption in this space.

Large public districts have many magnet programs that can experiment here too. Some of the issues with the magnet program are getting people to the school. 10 miles in LA could take you an hour during rush hours. A high school program that combined distance work with going to campus only a couple days out of the week would be very beneficial and mirror a college environment better than anything else.

I have reservations about fully remote programs, because in my newly remote grad program right now I am worthless with zoom only lectures, and I'm not alone.
