Assignment: Research and present the different methods of virtual learning offered for students in grades K-12 in the state of Oklahoma.
Reflection: This assignment really opened my eyes to the world of virtual schools in the state of Oklahoma. With the passing of SB 267 in 2012, parents can request virtual courses for their children in grades K-12. These virtual schools are considered charter schools which are funded by state funding and accountability. Allowing parents to pick the best education for their children seems like a win for everyone. The research needed for this assignment gave me some insight on the pros and cons of virtual schools in Oklahoma.
