  2. Blackboard ... The Answer to overcrowded schools and school funding?

    Why not create a schedule where students go to school one week and do online schooling the next? Teachers could "Hotseat" the classrooms or assign 2 teacher teams that operate 2 classes at the same time. During 1 week the synchronized learning in the classroom. The 2nds week students work online on projects, papers, educational gaming, research, essays, ect.... Adminstrators and teachers get more time to work from home or while on the beach, double the students in classes, 1/2 the cost of transportation and 1/2 the cost of building usage, heating and air, maintence, ect...
