Online schools have been around for a while, but I think are generally less popular, and the main users are people who live too far from a regular school to think it’s worth the trip, or who got bullied too much by other students, or so on.
More broadly, tho, I think the thing schools are selling is a package, and the ‘book learning’ part of it is something like a third (or less) of the value of that package for the typical student (and parent), but is the main bit that can also be duplicated by online schooling.
