Online class popularity soars - Don Jordan, Palm Beach Post
On the surface, English teacher Linda George's British literature class sounds like a 16-year-old's dream. You can show up when you want, turn in assignments when you want and take breaks to watch videos of the Urban Ninja on YouTube. You can eat, drink, listen to music, play video games and text message your friends without fear of punishment. Clothing is optional. And according to George, it's "the perfect atmosphere." George is one of a handful of teachers in Palm Beach County who end their traditional school day - at Jupiter High, in her case - and continue teaching from their home computers as part of the Palm Beach Virtual Community School, a district program offering high school credits and GED courses completely online.
