Protests to Proposed Arizona Online Learning Cuts - DANIEL RAVEN, Cronkite News Service
About 800 students, parents and teachers marched and carried signs on the Capitol lawn Tuesday to protest funding cuts to distance learning programs proposed during closed-door budget meetings. Organizers said students from 11 of the state's 14 distance-education programs participated. "I feel like they're targeting us because we're not in a building," said Adriana Moerkerken, a Tucson resident who brought her three children. "If they're going to cut education, they should cut it in all schools." Moerkerken said that home-schooling with the help of Arizona Virtual Academy allows her kids to learn at their own pace, not the pace of others, and that her daughter skipped two grades because of that.
