Public Schools are old school - Online learning for kids!

With more and more people getting online, more and more people doing their degrees online I've read where some states are enacting laws whereby a percentage of classes must be offered online K-12. This would certainly eliminate public school violence issues, enable learning when kids are sick, etc.

Idea Description

Eliminate the fear of teachers who go to work wondering when the next school shooting could occur
Eliminate many other issues associated with kids at school, fighting, illnesses, teachers not giving each child enough attention, the whole zero tolerance scenario, busing, lack of crossing guards, fuel savings, teacher/student affairs, etc
Bring the kids and teachers back home and do it all online.
Take the public school budget and provide everyone high speed internet either DSL, cable or satellite, wifi etc
The whole public school paradigm is outmoded and outdated
If both parents work, unemployed teachers could be paid/employed to check in with the students - online.

What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

Organize a grass roots movement to bring these issues to Congress
Additionally, help parents with other ways to social educate their kids, help with soccer or football, other sports, organizations, etc. I realize that by keeping kids home (most of the school years) they'll need some outside activities to teach them social skills.
