Virtual school enrollment is way up, according to the N&O’s Lynn Bonner.
One West Johnston High School student said, “I personally learn better online. It’s a more relaxed atmosphere. I can go over something I can’t get or go ahead quicker if some text is particularly easy.” You mean one size does not fit all?
The state operates the NC Virtual Public School, but cannot adequately handle the demand. We are long overdue for a virtual charter school. It would also be nice to see private providers of virtual education get into the mix.
