    I found this article interesting because my nephew (who lives with me) is taking a few classes on-line through Texas Tech in order to graduate early. I do think the instructional quality is not as high as an actual teacher and it is not for everyone. A student has to be self-motivated in order for it to work and be effective.

With the new Staar Test in Texas and 4th grade have to write Expository Essays this would be a good way to get a jump start on teaching Writing.
