Fighting Cyber Schools
from the kids-and-computers dept
I hadn't realized that there are cyber charter schools for students of just about any age. However, some folks in Pennsylvania aren't happy about the schools there. Other schools in Pennsylvania have to pay some of the bills for the cyber schools, and they don't like it. They suggest that the cyber schools aren't up to the same level as the regular schools. What I want to know is who sends their kids to a cyber charter school? I can see where online universities could make sense, but I have a hard time understanding when they would make sense for younger students.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
