It wasn't until we had something like Youtube and widespread broadband that it became viable for even the poorest schools. That was only 2005. Look at how quickly stuff like Khan Academy and other things sprung up after Youtube launched. That's only 5 years. Schools have to be conservative in things like this because the things they teach kids will serve as the foundation of their lives. Give it another 5 or 10, and I think we'll see an online component as a standard part of public schooling.
