How do you fund an online school? Simple, send a bill to the users then put that money into the school's account.

In my era school was a safe and welcoming place. Granted I went to a private parochial school with a high rating which was an advantage. However, my point is that school was a social environment where I made friends and learned about people behaviors 1st hand. For me that was big draw and I would not have traded it for home schooling.

Today's schools with the need for security and the dangers of violence and bullying seem like a very strange place to me. If I had school age children I'm not sure what choice I would make. It would depend on the school's environment I guess.

The info about the schooling results from the online charters isn't satisfactory to me. I suspect I could do a better job as the home schooler if I decided that route was necessary.

I've been stating all along, schools and libraries will be a thing of the past, but since they will go away, will the property taxes be lessened? Will that endless spigut of flowing money to the schools stop? Of course not, this is a liberal govt. All liberals want to do is spend someone else money, in the name of the children.

My 12 year old niece began the going the on-line school route after relentless bullying at her local school in the PA school district. She's an intelligent, friendly kid. There was no effective intervention by any adult. She is now able to learn in a safe environment -- her home. I wish that option had been available to me; I was bullied too.

Please note that correct grammar requires the use of "who" when speaking of a person, not "that."
A careful writer would have written, "the person who ..." "the teacher who …" instead of, "the person that"
"the parent that" and so on. This error occurs at least three times in this article. It hurts the credibility
of the writer if he or she is careless with grammar. The reader wonders whether the author has also been careless with the facts in the article when the author is careless with grammar.
