Distance learning catches on in Mesa: Online program luring students - JJ Hensley, The Arizona Republic
Children with cellphones are ubiquitous. Teens and text messaging go hand-in-hand. So it's little surprise that the greatest growth in Mesa's distance learning program is coming from learners who can barely reach the keyboard. The program, which teaches students off-site by computer, started in 1999 and now boasts more than 600 students. Much of the recent growth came with the addition of about 165 kindergarten through sixth-grade students this year. Many of those students are home-schooled and their families are using the program to supplement the education they get at home and through the district's Eagleridge Enrichment Program for home-schooled students.
