My choice as a parent with accelerated students has been to pay extra for my children to get the programming they deserve and need to meet their goals, which is not an option as far as I am concerned. Others may not have the persistence and wherewithal to provide this for their children and that is not acceptable. Sharing resources is not the major advantage virtual schools have over brick and mortar schools. The big advantage is not having to build 20 million dollar schools every 20 years and having to hire people to maintain said facilities. If schools can find a way to share resources effectively, this would be a huge bonus for every kid in Evansville and every other small high school in the nation.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291703306380996857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661027307519261869.post-71047984670155236052011-04-26T03:16:32.508-05:002011-04-26T03:16:32.508-05:00This is how virtual schools trump smaller schools ...This is how virtual schools trump smaller schools like Evansville. I understand your idea with this, but not every kid who walks the halls of EHS is four year college bound. It's not for lack of classes it by choice. Some thing like this should be forced on any district, as you as a parent do have alternatives to meet these needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
