Online learning in high schools offer tailored, adaptive education - Valerie McCullough, Minnesota Post
Thousands of parents and students in Minnesota have joined the growing movement to online education. Their reasons vary, but their goal is the same: to ensure the best possible education for each individual child. Minnesota is one of nearly 45 states that now offer significant online learning opportunities, according to research by the North American Council for Online Learning. You may not have considered online education for your high-schooler, and that's hardly surprising. Today's parents came through an education system that was much the same for a century. It's what they know. But times are changing. Ten years from now, half of all high school classes will be online, according to Clayton Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor.
