Teachers Unions vs. Online Education: Kids live on the Internet. Why aren’t they learning online too?

Interesting article covering politics that are involved with starting up virtual schools.

  2. Thank you for posting a comment to my post. I wasn't expecting an article titled "Teacher Unions vs. Online Education..." and I think that's what caught my attention. I agree with you that they are two separate things. From the article, politically, it seems like Teacher Unions are not in favor of the establishment of full time charter virtual schools. They were also mentioned as consistently being amongst the biggest donors to U.S. election campaigns.
