For-profit Cyber Schools... Does the Bad Outweigh the Good?

Failing education standards but passing Wall Street Standards...gotta love those "price points".

Should we really trust the convicted "Junk Bond King" to be involved with a cyber school?

What? There are people that are skeptical about for-profit cyber schools?

What? Even elected state board of education members are skeptical about cyber schools?

Are online students Googling their way to to graduation?

MUST READ.... "How Online Learning Companies Bought America's Schools".

Only 27% of for-profit companies operating virtual "cyber" schools met the adequate yearly progress standards of the federal No Child Left Behind law?

Perhaps for-profit cyber schools are needed because the technology is too costly and complex for public schools and regular classroom teachers to provide a rich, online learning experience??? WRONG!!!
