Many states are embracing online high school programs, allowing for government-funded charter schools or creating their own online systems.
The IdahoStatesman reports on such virtual high schools in Idaho:
"Superintendent of education Tom Luna said the current education model follows Henry Ford's mass production methods. But online learning offers great opportunities for students with different learning styles and abilities by providing cost-effective, targeted programs for tutoring, make-up classes, and concurrent and advanced credit."We have to move away from the business model we've adopted," Luna said. "One thing to remember is it will only be hard on the adults."
With this mind set, online programs can be tailored to fit many student needs instead of being seen as a one-size-fits-all solution.
