K12 Online Schools of California.
I have seen a growth in this type of educational opportunity for high school students and have thought about but since I don't have all the pertinent information I must reserve my opinion until I check more into it.
Here is the link to one. www.K12.com/California.
Online high school is a direct offspring from the explosion in the technology community that has made this opportunity available.
Lets look at this for a moment.
What are the negatives about public high schools?
Violence, negative influences from other kids, bad social habits, distractions, teen pregnancy, drugs, and school systems focused on test results.
What are some positives of public schools?
Positive social skills, positive influences from some really good teachers and a means to exploit individual athletic skills (I know this one is week).
There is something about attending school over not attending school. What about the entire high school experience like prom, Sadie Hawkins dance, football games, basketball games, pep rally's, etc.
What are your thoughts about online high school? Don't confuse this with home schooling.
