No, the value of a computer based education is that you don't need SME's on site. Instead, you could get away with one home office developing the lesson plans, then distributing their work across a state. Specialty graders could be hired to handle anything that the computer can't grade.

The schools themselves would just have enough teachers that are the equivalent of substitute teachers keeping order.
