Online Schooling: A Cautionary Tale

&
 

ABSTRACT

In this controversy piece, we portray online learning as growing too fast for existing regulatory structures to oversee and generally as having failed to live up to its potential. Operators, particularly for-profit operators, have generally not produced successful schools. We urge reforms of cyber schooling funding mechanisms, data systems, and oversight.

Notes

1. The terms online schools, virtual schools, and online charter schools are used interchangeably throughout this article, consistent with prevalent usage in policy reports and the research literature. Differences in terminology are only noted where important in the article.
