Students turn to online classes - EUNNIE PARK, the Record
John Botto can take his psychology class at 3 a.m. on a Saturday. He's never met his classmates, who live as far away as South Africa. And if he wants to ask his teacher a question?

The district enrolled in the program this year to gain access to more than 200 online courses taught by certified American teachers.
