This is a video clip about a virtual high school and some of the students that are attending this school. One is a female who is taking some of her classes online and the rest at a regular high school. She takes some of her classes on line because she wants to be an Olymipic ice skater and the ice time is the best when it is in the morning. Some other students take classes on line to further a pursued interested like a boy that is taking a higher computer class that his regular high school offers. This video also gives details about the effectiveness of virtual high schools. They have a 90% graduation rate. Most of the classes are classes that their home school would not offer. This was written to inform students and parents about the school and how it is beneficial to students.
This was written by the people of the virtual high school and other schools that participate in the program. This is new and up to date for this topic. The information is accurate as possible since this is a new and is growing very fast. Trying to find the most updated information is hard. A real person can watch this video and understand it very easily.
I was impressed with this virtual high school. I found the video to be very interesting and informative. The video gave a lot of information on this topic and school. This video does support my view that virtual high school has a benefit and that this one is effective.

I am definitely in favor for virtual high school's. If anything, it allows for student's to have yet another choice in their education. Just as student's who are enjoying a particular subject will most likely succeed in it-- I believe having control over their learning environment is important also.
ReplyDeleteI too am in favor of virtual high schools. There are some students who just for whatever reason cannot succeed in a regular school or classroom and these virtual high schools give those students a chance to get the education they need instead of just dropping out. I have a niece that would have been a high school drop out if not for a virtual high school.
