It makes best use of information technology. It breaks school into activities and academics. Activities are the things that do not depend on technology, sports, labs, drama, arts, work shop, and study hall. Academics is much simpler, it depends on the tablet and the seminar. The classroom becomes the ten student, two hour seminar once a week.
Academics becomes a lightweight, digitally driven information pursuit. Teacher student ratio goes to 100 to 1, transportation costs are computed on small scales, schedules digitally optimized, intelligent browser, all html5. Huge gains. But the students will stare into small screens.
Activities the cost heavy burden, is farmed out, as much as possible. But activities are driven across the campus, and have freer opportunity to cut costs, by subdivision. Again, flexibility in schedule.
Break those two completely apart, technology is a huge divider.
