Internet classes get good reviews from students - Teresa Taylor Williams, Muskegon Chronicle
Corey Potter will graduate next year not knowing half of her peers she took classes with. She's never even seen most of them. Potter, 15, is among a couple dozen West Michigan teenagers enrolled in Michigan Virtual High School, where classes consist of independent study, e-mail messages back and forth to instructors, and online chat rooms with other students. Some of the course offerings Potter has taken are anatomy and physiology, oceanography, and she recently completed advanced placement psychology. All are courses that her small Muskegon Township charter school, Muskegon Technical Academy, does not offer. Michigan Virtual High School has helped her get on the fast track out of high school and on with her post-secondary education: She blew past the rest of her sophomore peers in credits, and is now considered a junior. She will graduate in what would normally be her junior year.
