Hate going to school at 7 am? Would you rather just go in your pajamas and never have to leave home? That’s a very real statement for hundreds of Minnesota high schoolers who are getting their diplomas online. That’s not a quite a reality in Iowa yet, But as KIMT News 3’s Gwen Siewert is finding out there’s a lot that goes into the equation of finding out if online school is right for you. There are 24 online schools in the gopher state. Most are regulated by the department of education and get state funding. So why isn’t Iowa getting in on online education? If your student can succeed without bells telling them when to move classrooms, it may be something parents can soon explore.
