I think we're seeing some co-evolution already. More people are working from home. There are more home-schooling and de-schooling options. There are "go local" movements in politics, business & agriculture. For schools to remain relevant they might have to switch to community centres. This switch may also be driven by demographics, costs for infrastructure and fuel costs (buses & heating). As William Gibson says, the future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.
