More districts offering desks in virtual classrooms - JAY PARSONS, WFAA
The latest trend in schools lets kids wear whatever and attend classes whenever. Lewisville and Carrollton-Farmers Branch joined Plano this year to become some of the few area districts to offer for-credit high school classes over the Internet. McKinney plans to open its virtual doors this summer. State education officials predict virtual classrooms will mushroom in the coming years – and only in part because of new technology. A bigger boost in numbers could come because of a new state rule requiring students to take a fourth year of math and science.
