Finances of states all across our country are in trouble. Idaho is proposing drastic changes to education and medicaid. Democratic senators in Wisconsin have run away from their state, hoping to avoid reforming unions collective bargaining rights. Reports in Detroit of increasing high school class size to more than 50 students.
How do we fix this? Nothing is easy. Raise taxes? None of seem to want that. Cut teachers? Increase class sizes? None of us want that either.
One of the proposals in Idaho includes students taking online classes. Have you ever taken an online class? I have. While I may have learned things, right now I can't think of anything specific. My thoughts are that if it is something that a person really wants to learn it might work. If it is just something to fulfill a requirement, the class better not be anything actually important because it won't be retained.
