[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is the in-person only crowd absolutely refuses to see how virtual can benefit some students. Not all students (aka their students), but guess what? In person doesn’t work for all students either. In-person only crowd only considers their children’s needs, so they bash anyone who thinks differently. It’s juvenile and immature, but they want to continue to be selfish. If they spent a second in classrooms across the US right now, they’d see the complete disaster current classroom conditions are. They’d still refuse to listen to any alternatives though because they are stuck on an ideal from when they were kids. The world is changing….. not all students learn in the same environments…time to grow up. [/quote]

Virtual is simply on balance an inferior form of education even for those kids who can technically get by. Public school districts have zero obligation to offer a learning model that is expensive and has poor results. It only makes sense for kids who actually cannot go to school.[/quote]

It's only inferior when lazy parents fail to monitor or supervise young children; otherwise, it's amazing.[/quote]

Ok, but clearly some parents are failing to supervise and monitor their kids, hence the on balance worse outcomes for VA.

It's like how everyone thinks they are a responsible gun owner until their kids pulls an unsecured handgun off the shelf.[/quote]

An involved parent would know how there kids are doing virtually or in person.  What are these tests based on?   Lots of kids opted out of testing.  [/quote]
