Cyber Schools: Future of Education? - Katie Kim, WILX
Dropping and picking up your children from school may become a thing of the past. Instead, instruction could come to your home. "A cyber school is a school where you don't have students inside of a physical classroom," says Gary Naeyaert from the Michigan Association of Public School Academies. Naeyaert says qualified educators would teach the same curriculum as in a traditional school, but learning would be done online. Naeyaert says this model best serves at-risk students. "Students who have already dropped out of the traditional school system or are in a situation where because of their personal life, or where they work, or what their family situation is where they just can't attend school from 8 until 3," says Naeyaert.
