Considering the Merits of Virtual Schooling
I came across an article today that caught my attention because it had ‘virtual schools’ and ‘bullying’ in the first sentence. I spent many years researching bullying, it’s consequences and ways to prevent it in schools. I started this work in 1993 and realize to my dismay that I could never make a living doing bullying prevention work. Schools are struggling to raise test scores; and, funding for bullying prevention is minimal. Consequently, this issue is often put on a back burner. For kids who suffer as targets of bullying, virtual schools might provide a viable solution. Sal McKeown, a freelance journalist, wrote an insightful article on Virtual schools. I encourage you to read it. Maybe, someone that you know would benefit.
