Virtual Science Classes Are Under Debate….

in this New York Times article. The report says that students in the virtual online biology classes for the 2005 year had final exams scores beating the national average in two schools.

Imo you can do some, but not all expirements at home through a virtual school. It would be nice if we could allow students in a virtual school to go to a regular school to do some expirements.  I have problems giving out even A.P. grades to students with no real hands-on lab work.
