[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well we will all find out today the future of MVA. The sense I got from the board on Tuesday was they heard the testimonies, but they have a difficult budget this year and have to make tough decisions. I suspect this program will be cut. It is just not effective enough to maintain. Giving kids who are bullied the option to learn from home is not serving them...it is robbing them of a real education. I am shocked parents go along with it.

MVA gives them real education. Just like many colleges offer online degrees.[/quote]

You don't seem to hire people. Online degree programs have been a joke for a long time. [/quote]

LOL how in the world do you know if people you are hiring went to college in person?  (not talking about purely online colleges).  I am currently getting masters from Georgia Tech, fully online.  It actually beats going in person because I have fewer distractions and more time to learn.[/quote]

Agree. Online programs don't have this reputation in Europe for example. It's all about how it's structured.

Also - My kid is in a fully online aops class right now, and you better believe she's learning much much much more than she does in her MCPS honors geometry class. [/quote]

MCPS math curriculum is terrible.  It only got better for us when ours took pre-cal and they had textbooks and a more formal teaching style.[/quote]
