The near future. Korean students already get celebrity teachers (teachers who teach hundreds of thousands of students through video and software). This is new to the U.S only because competitive pressure between students isn't that great (we are pretty complacent even though ed quality in K-12 isn't great).

We can try to identify more of these celebrity teachers and put them in front of millions of students but in the long run we will probably have something a-la Matrix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AOpomu9V6Q&feature=relat...
