Without becoming too political, the idea of for-profit companies running what are traditionally state-run institutions is simply madness in my mind. Great video.

I don't think that online learning is the end-all-be-all, but I do think that traditional learning has run its course. Radical, I know. But I think that a blended approach is what's necessary in the world. Take for instance some of our Master's degrees; some of us would not be able to complete these degrees, myself included, if it wasn't for the online portion. Now I'm not saying that K-12 should be fully integrated in online learning, but I do think that the secondary grade levels are more than capable of the possibility (agreeing with Olivia's points below). Think about it from this perspective: Almost every high school in the country has access to internet now. The schools can use online learning boards to share information that teachers simply can't get to in their allotted class times. These boards allow them to blend online and offline learning so that their students get the full experience they need.

Online schooling is tough. It takes a lot of discipline to be able to be successful in an online program. While I agree with the author that parents tend to skew towards the negative, I don't entirely think they're always wrong. Sat, 21 Jul 2018 15:14:15 -0400
