Virtual School - What's Next?

I'm sure it is obvious from my picture that I am a Baby Boomer. I remember growing up and promising myself that I would ABSOLUTELY NOT talk to my children about how things were different in "my day".

Well..."Boy, things were different in my day!" :-)

Florida Gov. Rick Scott confirmed his support Tuesday for a bill that expands online K-12 education in Florida, a good indication the measure will become law this year.

After approval Tuesday in its final Senate committee stop, both chambers are now poised to vote on bills (SB 1620, HB 7197) that would require all students take an online course before graduating, would allow kindergarten students to take online classes, and allow virtual charter schools to offer full or part-time online classes.



My grand niece starts kindergarten next year, maybe I should take online classes with her!
