Children should start learning education from the internet now, not schools.

I know absolutely no children who have no friends. I also know absolutely no children who have not been through some form of formal education. See the connection? Surely you understand that the internet does not exist independently of humans. Wikipedia articles do not type themselves. To say that the internet (i.e people who we do not see nor interact with) is filled with only fact is a foolish assumption to make. The pacific tree octopus experiment is enough to prove that children and adults alike have the misconception that if it's on google it must be accurate. Children are more likely to question a teacher than the internet. If there is a point where the internet is capable of simulating real human interaction, we are not at it yet. Just think, how many times have you typed "lol" or "haha" without even feeling your face twitch? When we reach the point that doing so is impossible, then this argument may be valid. Simply put, schools are certainly not oblivious to that fact. We have reached the point where using the internet as a studying tool is not merely accepted, but encouraged. Schools are becoming more and more technologically advanced, to the point that they are removing physical text books, and using electronic forms of information sharing instead. You use the words "fascinated and eager" in your argument, but surely no amount of technology is going to make algebra interesting? Or are you stating that we can simply ignore boring but necessary knowledge and pretend it doesn't exist? This brings me to the question of how are we to learn basics, such as language? Who will teach us to read, write and use grammar? Who will teach us to spell, and properly structure a paragraph? Who will teach us all of these things? Or are we simply supposed to figure it out for ourselves? I will keep this brief: cyber bullying is a thing. People feel even more comfortable bullying people on the internet because they're faceless, and anonymous. Teen suicide rates have gone up because of this. There have been countless news articles, web pages and tributes dedicated to those who have taken their lives due to cyber bullying. It's funny how you never leaned that, despite your proficiency at self education on the internet. I have to comment about your claim that "the internet was created for this reason". It was not created to replace school, it was created so that computing devices could share information to aid in scientific research. The internet and the World Wide Web are also different things. The World Wide Web is what you're actually referring to when you talk about information gathering. The World Wide Web was named such because of the structure of connectivity that each topic had, it all linked to another for ease of navigation. As for your closing statement, answer this: Do you truly believe that schools still force students to comb through countless books and libraries to gather information? Do you truly believe that schools have failed to recognise what a great tool the internet is, when even small children understand it's value? Do you truly believe that young children will decide of their own free will to learn the most basic of mathematics, language, science and art? Do you truly believe, that after establishing what a great place the internet is, that children will still choose it journey outside and interact with one another, when even now we are struggling with youth being addicted to the internet and online gaming?
