Online Learning: In a class of his own - TIM ENGLE, Bismark Tribune
Virtual students don't sit in a classroom at all. Their day can start whenever they like - 7 in the morning or 7 at night. They work at their own pace. They may never meet their teachers in person, let alone fellow students. The state of Missouri runs a virtual school, the Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (www.movip.org), now in its third year. MoVIP, as it's known, started with 2,000 students and grew 30 percent its second year.
