The short answer (for me) is no. The longer answer is that schooling is complicated and often highly regulated. It is not immediately clear that Khan Academy and YouTube pass the muster where I live. Even if they did, for me there is a larger non-starter. I believe schooling is not best achieved by placing kids at a computer all day and that there is a clear expectation that homeschooled children be schooled and supervised at home by an adult. Secondly, I think my kids get too much screen time as it is. Finally, with the end in sight for ACT/SAT style standardized testing, I am not sure how universities would view or evaluate a "do it yourself via YouTube" high school education. Even if the content is great, I'm not going to risk these unknowns. They might however make great supplements. |
