[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Then why do they have the same accreditations?  Are you all boomers or something? There’s a serious disconnect between the real world and the world you all think we live in. [/quote]

Because higher ed accreditations are also a joke.

It's odd you think I'm a boomer. The only people I know that have any sort of positive association with online programs are boomers and older gen-xers that paid for bogus graduate degrees from diploma mills. All the younger people actually went to school and know that you couldn't have a remotely similar experience online. And it shows when you look at staff abilities across the board.[/quote]

Oh ok. I’ll just tell employers who they hire are jokes. 🙄[/quote]

You really don't seem to have much experience with hiring. Everyone knows the diploma mills are jokes. If the job doesn't actually require a degree, and they just want to check a box that you have a degree, then sure, the diploma mills are fine.

But try shopping around an MS or DSc in a STEM field from a diploma mill. [/quote]

I have thanks!!! In computer science. WHICH IS ALL ONLINE!  Not everything is equal. And not everything is evil.  My firm (government contractor) was an EEO.  Many more I know do not and hence...why America needs equity measures.  Not everyone has access to the same - but how dare you judge someone who got where they did because they do not meet your biased criteria.  Harvard, Yale, Princeton...all have online programs, approved by the US Department of Education!  There most likely is a high percentage of your child's teachers who have taken classes online for their coursework or professional development.  But oh wait......we know what you feel about teachers. So ironic, considering you INSIST your dear children must be taught by them.     [/quote]

I’m a teacher who has taken many online classes for certification requirements. It is a terrible way to learn even for adults. Almost all kids would be better off in in-person school [/quote]

It’s a great thing you don’t teach virtually. (another teacher here).

Why would you come here and say something inflammatory knowing how irresponsible it is to make blanket statements like that? Especially as an educator of children with diverse backgrounds and needs such as we have here in this county. You don’t speak for the millions of adults who have successfully learned virtually. All children are not better off in the building for various reasons.  All children are not better in person for various reasons. Do better.  [/quote]

Stop being lazy and get yourself to an actual school. Virtual school is an easy gig for you I’m sure [/quote]

Give her a break. After 4 years of being holed up at home, she probably doesn't fit into pants anymore.[/quote]

Who hurt you?  [/quote]
