Virtual Schooling 21f
The more I read about Virtual School the more I like about the convenience. It is beneficial to those that will be successful with this type of learning/setting. This is perfect for the student with leukemia or any other serious illness. I think it is perfect for the mature student that decides this is the best route for them and they are self-motivated and able to complete all of the assignments. But the students that don't like their teachers, I don't agree with a request for virtual school. I am 39(not too old) and I was always told that I am not in school to like my teacher, I am their to learn. As time goes on more people are going to request virtual school/online learning for the wrong reasons, they are not going to do well, and they will be back in the traditional setting. The choice for virtual school should be a choice made by several people; parents, teacher, counselor, principal and students.
Some of the schools in my district are probably equipped for virtual school, but others struggle with attendance, homework and parent involvement in the traditional setting. If changes are made it will not be done rapidly. It should be a very slow process because we want our children to be successful and each student that wishes to change from the traditional setting should be well prepared.
