Tacoma-FWay Internet partnership makes sense - Tacoma News Tribune
For some teenagers, the idea of sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher’s lecture is as painful as, well, fingernails on a blackboard. They’d much rather be sitting at their computers for hours on end. Now they can – and still be going to school. Online classes are a good alternative for those students who have trouble learning in conventional settings, need flexibility because they work, require supplemental coursework for home-schooling or have other issues interfering with attending a bricks-and-mortar school. Now the Tacoma School District is considering a way to greatly expand online opportunities for those students.
