Jane Good, 46, is one of 11 full-time teachers in Colorado’s three-year-old 21st Century Virtual Academy, an online school of about 750 students that is part of the state’s largest school district, the JeffCo Public Schools. She teaches a mix of full-time and part-time students in seventh- and eighth-grade science, ninth-grade Earth science and 10th-grade biology — all from the comfort of her home office, which has stunning views of the Rockies. Good makes around $63,000 a year, the same amount she’d earn in a brick-and-mortar school in her district.
