Totally disagree. If I had virtual learning I would of never dropped out all those years ago and had to get my high school equivalent later in life. Forcing you to go to a classroom and sit around while someone slowly lectures about a subject that is much easier to self teach yourself with a textbook has always been silly. I get that kids use school as a social outlet, and that part of things is probably frustrating. But when it comes to "methods of learning" the modern education system has many flaws that need to be examined. Part of the issue is a lack of fluidity when it comes to there being multiple ways for differing students to be able to learn most effectively. It's always been a overly simplified one size fits all system and it's a huge part of why kids don't want to "learn" and only want to socialize while at school. Most people forgo learning entirely after a certain grade and literally are just "studying" in order to pass a standardized test. It's information presented without appropriate lesson, leaving many as adults not gaining anything of real value from their time especially in junior high and high school. At least not anything of value from school experience versus lived I should say. Which is always happening, even at school. 

Anyways!
