I think lectures could be replaced by videos and interactive material, and teachers could take more the role of an instructor instead of a lecturer.

Exactly. Videos are easy to replicate. Humans are interactive. So why not have the best of the both worlds and see the best possible video lecture first, and then discuss it with a teacher?

With the additional advantage that if you miss the school for whatever reason, you could watch the video anyway. Or you could choose to use the same videos for homeschooling.
