[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Spots at daycares for 4yos are really not hard to find. Neither are nanny shares or mother's helpers. A lot easier than finding an alternative for AP Physics or Chinese 5 for a HS junior. [/quote]

I think this is exactly the kind of thing the OP is bothered by. Just tossing off that it's easy for her to solve her childcare problem and then positing that the challenges for HS students are harder or more important.

The truth is that both problems are hard, but DL might actually help the HS junior. It won't do squat for a kindergartner. I see where the OP is coming from.[/quote]

Yup. Additionally, online programs have existed for DL for high-school students for a while, so there is a lot more proof of concept and guidance available to teachers and students. Full time DL for kindergartners, especially with no involved parent, is not the same. The best that is out there is homeschooling curricula, which isn't exactly conducive to parents with full time jobs. [/quote]
