1. It definitely as its place

Both my daughters did several online classes with good results. K12 has taken some abuse, but my daughter's Spanish 2 was actually better than our public school (she took it over the summer before her Sophomore year). The courses from the North Dakota School for Distance Education in Life Science and Biology were also as good as public school.

The community college classes were hit and miss. The best that can be said for some was that they satisfied the requirements of the degree program at the university.

I was bullied in school when I lived in California, and I received no support from the public school. I almost committed suicide over it. I would not hesitate to pull my kids out of public school if that situation eve arose. I would have loved doing online classes (at least until I got to 10th grade and my parents moved to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi).
