Shift Happens Wiki Discussion Two: k12 Online Schools

This discussion is the most recent one on the wiki and revolves around online classes for K-12 students. The idea is that students can do most or all of their work online and learn at their own pace. The issue of social skills being affected negatively is also mentioned. Also, the idea that bullying and inappropriate teacher/student relations could be fixed is also mentioned.

I found this discussion interesting. My niece is actually graduating from high school at the age of 16 because she opted to take online classes for most of her life. Socially, she is not awkward at all. She is going to be taking college courses online next year and will have her degree before she is old enough to drink! To me, online classes could solve a lot of problems and really advance education in America.
