Gege Lawson is spending her summer vacation earning high school credits online. Gege, 18, didn’t fare too well in a geometry class last year at Milton High School. To perform better and boost her grade point average, the upcoming senior is taking an accelerated geometry class through Florida Virtual School at the Magnolia Education Recreation Center in East Milton. “I didn’t get it the way the teacher taught it,” she said. “When it comes to learning, I don’t think there is a right way or a wrong way.” The class has been beneficial because the lessons have more information than a textbook, and her concentration is better than in the classroom, Gege said.
