High School Online

Thomas Nixon
Finish high school by distance learning
"This is the first time in history that the teacher, student, and content need not be the same place." -- Willard Daggett, president of the International Centre for Leadership in Education

Imagine making guitar lessons B. B. King. How to act on the lessons of Tom Hanks? In the next twenty years, most secondary schools offer at least part of their instruction online. Many schools are already doing so. Although you can not take lessons from one or other of these illustrious scholars still, it is certainly possible to take one or acting guitar online.

In a recent interview with Mike Lambert, executive director of distance education and training (DETC), he said, "The future of online learning is clearly an increase in the use of all sectors of education, from kindergarten to graduate. "

I will do Mr.
Lambert one better: the growth in distance learning to move away from online colleges and begin to focus on kindergarten through twelfth grade. The market is bigger and there is less competition.
