Chaotic13 – I agree with you, this is exactly the reason that one of my sons attends a virtual HS. The class choices are infinite. I do believe that this will be the wave of the future. Most of my son’s “classmates” attend these virtual classes through their neighborhood brick and mortar school. This is still considered a public school and he still has to go through the testing every two years that he had to in “regular” school. If there is a teacher that he doesn’t jive with, all it takes is a request for a different instructor. Every class has a 30 day trial period, if the class is below his abilities, he can withdraw with no penalty and select a different one. There really isn’t a down side. Jetsons here we come!
