Brick and mortar.
I think online schools are fantastic, provided that the students get as good, or better, education than the brick and mortar.
I wish I had that as an option.
Certainly not an option for lazy students or parents.
Agreed. I wish online ed was available when u was growing up.
I’ve even taken online college courses and enjoyed them.
u = i , sorry for typo
My kids’ private school was K-8. The challenge of becoming accredited for a high school diploma prevented it from going higher. They’ve hooked up with an online private, Christian high school.
Kids now go K-12. The high schoolers are in what was empty classroom space. The high school students go to service, they get track and PE, they have language classes in small groups with what was previously several part time language teachers (Spanish and French). Their parents do not have to choose between horrific commutes and tuition costs and public high school.
Online schooling, IMO, is going to make private schools more competitive. You can use one to complement the other.
Long ago - right after we came over on the Mayflower and before computers and the internet - our local junior college offered basic courses via a local TV station. The classroom session was taped live and then replayed at a later time. Students had a choice to either attend actual class on campus or watch from the comfort of their living room. Of course we also had books back then, nothing digital. Only had to go to the campus to take tests and turn in papers.
It was not only very inexpensive but a great time saver and easy way to pile up the college credits on core curriculum courses.
Brick and mortar.
