[quote=Anonymous]Online learning is still very much a part of the Superintendant's and Tara Nattrass's plan for high school seats.  Some of their resistance to building a full size fourth high school is because they think high schools in the modern age can meet capacity needs in different ways, e.g., without physical seats, through online learning and personalized devices, through internships in the community, through community college classes.  They think the modern high school student would benefit from a different high school experience than we oldies had, plus it would happen to save APS a shit ton of money and effort.  They see the biggest problem with implementing their ideals to be the unenlightenment of parents who don't like the idea of isolating kids in at-home, online classes where they won't be supervised and won't have a true "community" high school experience anymore.  Murphy keeps propounding this shit and there was too much community protest for the school board to support it last time, but he and Nattras will try it again.  (Her big accomplishment in North Carolina schools before coming here was using personalized devices with kids.  Despite lack of any proof they actually help kids rather than just waste class time.  So yay!)[/quote]
