An interesting idea

An interesting idea is to have special educational parks. Just like the software/ biotech parks, schools and colleges can be set up outside the city in one area with good high speed connectivity to the city centre.
As the author says, schools and colleges can share high quality infrastructure with just nominal cost.
Another aspect is, if three students in the college wish to study something uncommon, eg Spanish, we do not employ a teacher, but tell them to manage on their own, or refer them to the University department. This can be easily be solved in such education parks with one common teacher employed by all the colleges in the park.
However, one problem is that though this works easily for colleges, it is difficult for young children. Making a 5 year old travel 2 hours by bus to and from school is difficult.
