Electronic School: Online Learning Grows
Electronic School: Online Learning Grows UpStudents turn to online classes and schools for varied reasons, but they have one thing in common: They all want or need something that's not easily available in the traditional brick-and-mortar school building. Students in rural communities can take classes such as Latin or AP calculus that their schools are too small or too poor to offer. Sick or hospitalized students can finish their class work without falling behind. Gifted students, students who have problems in the regular classroom, students traveling with their parents -- increasingly these youngsters are turning to online learning as an alternative to regular education -- No longer an experiment, virtual schooling is here to stay.
