We use online learning for students who have failed classes in the past, and it has been a miserable failure. Students actually hate the programs, rarely complete the work.

Less students per classroom, more arts and music, better atheletics, all proven to increase learning, even to increase test scores, get the shaft for one of the biggest 'environmental' factors of poor learning: digital dementia. madnessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
