Will schools become defunct?

http://innovation.blurgroup.com/blog/are-tech-giants-shaping-the-future-of-education/

tech companies are coming into education with new and changing ideas of the fundamentals of education. 
MOOCS, badges, Google game for education, Apple app for education, Bill Gates foundation, Connections Academy and K12. They are some serious for profit players that are pushing into education. They are smart well funded and have a purpose. That is not educating all children. We cannot out spend them. We cannot out market them. All we can do is out quality them.
