Online learning helps students stay on track - Jill Tucker, San Francisco Chronicle
Galileo high school administrators were frustrated. Year after year, they saw four-year colleges slip through the hands of students who had good grades save for a couple of D's. While students who failed classes were able to repeat them and have the grade changed, often through summer school or night school, students who had D's were out of luck. The near-failing grade was one that would be stuck on their transcripts forever. Cyber High changed that. Since December, the Internet courses have allowed students to get a do-over for both D's or F's by taking the classes on a laptop computer at home or at Galileo through a program administered 200 miles away at the Fresno County Office of Education and Fresno school district.
