Life of the Girls of the Valley

A recent survey found that compared to traditional learning environments, online learning is proving to be an effective way in teaching today's "iGeneration" who live in a world of customized and instant feedback. Here are highlights from the survey:

• 72% of online students spend three or more hours on homework per week vs. 56% of students in traditional schooling.

• 54% of online students get more challenges when they are doing well in school vs. 49% of students in traditional schooling.

• 58% of online students get more help when they fall behind vs. 40% of students in traditional schooling.

• Online students have more interest in attending a four year college after graduation than students in traditional schooling. 78% vs. 67%

I just checked out Keystone Learning which is an online program especially for 6th through 12th grades. I am strongly considering this program in the future for my 12 year old daughter.
