S.C. to offer online learning schools full time - SEANNA ADCOX, Associated Press
Forget lockers and lunchrooms. Eighth-grader Will Edwards starts his school day by logging onto a computer in his living room. Undisturbed by noisy classmates, he completes his assignments in about six hours, Monday through Thursday -- and reserves most Fridays for hunting and fishing with his father. The 14-year-old left public school in November to be homeschooled by a private national online program his parents pay for. Next fall, however, Will hopes to be enrolled in one of three new full-time public cyber schools expected to open in South Carolina. "Teachers weren't giving me enough to do," he says. "I get to stay at home. And I like the quiet."
