Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom
We pulled our son out of a useless junior high, let him play guitar and video games at home all day, and used an online charter school to teach him ourselves at night
It is interesting that the study states this true for adults, yet the picture was of a 9 year old. There is not a lot of data to support that the results of the study is true for most K-12. It is clear that it is generally unsuccessful for the unmotivated or those with limited reading skills. Many have pushed online ed for K-12 credit recovery and GEDs. It has not been successful with most of those students. Using blended models in K-12 has had more success.
