>online education is something you want other parents' children to do
This is true of a lot of college alternatives, from online classes to state schools to vocational training. Everyone insists that we should view these as viable, even superior options. But it's hard not to think that when push comes to shove most parents still want their own kids to go to Harvard (and are willing to go to some lengths to make that happen).
