HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: The Online Revolution Comes to Public Education. “If online education can really be made to work in secondary school, the shift away from big box high schools and centralized school districts is likely to pick up steam. In practical terms, it will mean that smaller schools can offer a more diverse curriculum (Mandarin classes in small town schools, art and music classes without the expense in every school of full time faculty and so on). America has the chance to build school systems that slash bureaucratic overhead and red tape while giving teachers more autonomy and parents and students more choice. Online instruction is a big part of making that happen; congratulations to all the students, parents, teachers and administrators brave enough to give this a try.”
