I guess the ultimate solution will be to eliminate physical schools and
classroms and do all teaching via broadband / internet, and do away with
all physical contact among teachers & pupils. In fact, it would then be
possible to have the teachers located in India, being paid minimum wages
etc.

Cheers, Steve..
