The Debate Begins for Indiana Online Charter Schools
Internet-based charter schools may be on way
"Pennsylvania's 11 cyber charter schools have been a drain on traditional school districts, Allwein said, in part because so many home-schooled children have opted for them. They seem to be getting more and more students every year," he said.
I am happy to see the possibility of additional options for K-12 schools here in Indiana. This quote from the article has me wondering why so many students and parents in Pennsylvania have chosen to leave traditional schools?
I have argued before in this blog that we will know when true choice has arrived for our schools when the old system begins to fight through legislation and the courts to pass laws to try to keep the status quo in place. Stay tuned on this one!
