Jessica Eiche, the mother of 10-year-old Namine, said she doesn’t know what her family would have done if virtual school hadn’t been an option. Namine has femoral facial syndrome, a condition that causes a heart defect and a spinal disorder which confines her to a wheelchair. “She has lots of hospital appointments and many different doctors she has to see regularly,” Jessica said. That need to work constant doctor appointments into their schedule, as well as the fact that her immune system is compromised, means that the flexibility of a virtual school is a necessity for Namine’s education.
