I was surprised reading some of the information in the WI Act 222 where it discussed virtual schools and online charter school funding. I didn't know many things about virtual teaching and wonder why there is a 5,250 pupil limit to online learning in WI. Although I am personally excited to be able to teach online in the future, I was hoping that my wife could do the same. However, the 30 hours of professional development towards teaching online will prevent her from doing so at this point.
It was a wake-up call when we learned just how expensive it is to start an online charter school, but I still think it is worth it because that is the future of education, at least in part. :) I am still skeptical about online teaching of a performance class or an art form that asks students to produce an emotional connection to the artistry.
