      I think this is a great statement, which means it will change how education is formed
  • Virtual charter schools also eliminate social and behavioral issues that are prevalent at public schools, especially at the high school level

      This may be true but virtual schooling is not going to change the attitude of the students

      I think this point is a good point for the Author to bring up. This makes me think the author really cares about students. However social issues are a large issues for school who aren't doing virtual schooling let alone schools that are. The internet is changing how students communicate, which is changing relationships in schools.

      Can you really know if it will or won't change the attitude of the student? It could be argued that the influence of peers in the school setting does have an enormous effect on a person's personality or attitude.

      Though virtual charter schools may eliminate social and behavior issues that are prevalent at the public schools the students will be unable to form friendships with other students that come with attending public schools. Also this may be easier for them to learn in an environment that they are comfortable with.

    I believe this site is reliable because it includes User Agreement information where it includes warranties, disclaimers, acceptance of terms, etc. that has credible information for anyone interested in virtual schooling. The site also has advantages and disadvantages listed which makes it more reliable because it isn't a biased site.

    This link is a good tool because it shows many graphs that help explain what all is included in Virtual Education and how it is different from a public school.

    Local education agency-based. A large number of local public schools and school districts have created their own virtual schools, mainly to serve their own supplemental or alternative education needs and to reach out to home school populations. They usually employ their own regular certified K-12 teachers, either within the regular course of instruction, or "on the side." - Creating their own online schools may be beneficial for some people in the school district because some students get bullied however don't want to move. Also allows the school district to keep the test scores of those students who choose to do online schooling.
