There's something similar to that in the UK, called the Open University, where you study for a degree at home, receiving study material etc through the post. It sounds a bit odd, and used to have a reputation as something that people did while they were in prison, but it has an excellent reputation with some of the country's best academics working for the OU, and is now quite popular with all kinds of people who maybe live too far from an actual university or have work committments that make it too difficult for them to attend.

More generally though, the problem with that kind of system becoming the norm is that most people appreciate actual one-to-one contact with a teacher, finding the more isolated study at home idea a bit impersonal. Also, for people in pre-college education especially, part of the point of school isn't just to learn stuff but to put people in an interactive environment with people their own age. I think it can work in some instances (as happens anyway with the whole home-schooling thing) but as a general policy I don't think it's a good idea. I think the challenge is to try and match the potential for new technology in terms of what people are calling 'distance learning' with a more conventional personal style of teaching.

Both TV and Internet have a mostly positive effect. Sure, there are also negatives, but if you know how to use them they can make a better person out of you.

knowing how to use something doesn't make you a better person... please list the mostly positive effects of both mediums and how they make you a better person.

I've been wondering if posters whose first language isn't English and don't get a chance to speak it on a day-to-day basis see the benefits of forums for their own improved take on it.

there is some useful information on t.v. if you watch the right channels. also unlimited info on the web. however t.v. is mostly used to condition the masses in a negative way, they'll probably control the internet moar soon as well.
