Virtual schools - Christina Beam, Baraboo News Republic
Three weeks into the new school year, sixth grader Paige Singleton of Baraboo was just meeting some of her classmates and teachers face-to-face for the first time Monday morning. Paige, whose mom describes her as a "visual learner," had difficulty adjusting to the traditional school setting. Now she's also a virtual learner — this fall she enrolled in an online school out of the Appleton Area School District instead of Baraboo's Jack Young Middle School — and so far, she's thriving. The Wisconsin Connections Academy, now in its fifth year, is a free public school accepting children in kindergarten through eighth grade who participate in online learning guided by certified teachers. Each child has a "learning coach," usually a parent, who supervises lesson plans and learning on the homefront.
