Distance Learning

“Incidentally, this is one reason why all forms of cyber-education will necessarily be second best. Certain learning can be acquaried at a distance, and in one sense every book ever written is a form of ‘distance learning.’ Consequently, what can be place on a page and withdrawn from that page many years later can also be posted on the web. But the center of true education will always be flesh and blood community — first in the family and church, and then in the school or college. In community situations the powers of example and imitation display their potency” (The Case for Classical Christian Education, p. 159).
