[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article is clearly biased, but I could see a couple things going on here.  There are some kids who do virtual because of a mental or physical health issue, and that could affect school performance alone- awful hard to keep up grades when you're going through chemo.  I also suspect it's directly related to parental involvement- I know of at least one family who saw the VA as an alternative to homeschooling because it, in theory, did not require as much work on the parents' part, and then they were surprised to find out how much work it still was.  Their kids are in ES though, I could see HS students being more independent.[/quote]

What are these numbers based on?   A lot of families refused testing.  We did.  I was not going to send my kids into a school without any basic precautions that would not allow my kids to participate in activities, sports or graduation. And, I did not want them to miss class time either.

In person requires a lot more work as it’s far harder to monitor things, multiple trips a day to the school, etc.  And at least notes and slides were provided with no textbooks and now there is nothing.  [/quote]
