[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - there are several "it's not possible" posts - but as I've said, I did not mean a personal attack in my response.  I find it notable that you have not called out those posters whose posiotion is entirely assertion and ad hominem - but that is a digression.

I understand the privacy concern - however, while this may limit a live stream of a classroom to the public sphere, it does not limit several other approaches including the use of the on-line HS approach where the students clearly assent to being on video with a teacher (and perhaps other students).  It is also possible that students/parents would consent to video if certain safeguards were employed. The benefits of access to various classes, avoiding transportation inefficiencies and more feedback from tutors/teachers would entice many students to participate.     At the simplest, there could be a "corner" where the camera doesn't reach where non-consenting students could sit.

You mentioned that you have reviewed many of these programs - what is you professional opinion of the Stanford on-line HS, TECCA, and K12?  What is preventing the Calc B/C teacher at TJHSS teaching an interactive, on-line class so that my son can take this class (when his HS can't staff it due to low interest).  My wife subs Math and could teach full time as there are so few qualified upper level math teachers.  What are the concerns/objections/issues with her setting up a course on-line that any interested student could participate in?

I am curious why you are asking these questions here and why you haven't gone to your school system to ask them.  I know of several programs that are approved by local school systems that do allow for on-line participation by students for full credit and that would meet your son's needs for a Calc B/C class if it isn't being offered at his school.  If your desire truly is to enroll your son in a Calc B/C class then there are lots of options already available for the students who meet the local systems' requirements.  Why are you not making use of them?

As for your wife, she should get certified and begin teaching.  Then perhaps she could work with her school system to set up a course system that you seem to prefer.[/quote]
