As loyal readers know, one group that uses online high schools are those many folks engaged in serious training for sports. The Journal Times offers an article on Eric Thompson, a student at iQ Academy Wisconsin. iQ Academy is the largest online high school in that state.

Something particularly worth reading in the article is the fact that not everyone is excited about the prospect of online high schools. Note that the school mentioned is not iQ Academy.

The debate in the Legislature followed a lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the state teachers union, against an online school run by the Northern Ozaukee School District. School district officials there are appealing the court ruling in December against Wisconsin Virtual Academy.
