Online learning grows in Ohio - Michael D. Clark, Cincinnati Inquirer
Last month's snow storms and "calamity days" off from school didn't affect a small but growing segment of area students whose classrooms are found not in school buildings, but in their own homes. Instead of attending traditional schools - or learning via home schooling programs where parents double as teachers - these students "attend" kindergarten through 12th grade at home via state-accredited, online schools. Ohio is among the top three states in the nation for total number of students learning at home while enrolled in full-time, online schools, according to a 2009 national survey by the International Association for K-12 Online Learning.
