gize for taking my own time to respond to it.
One of my dreams is to have a "cooperative" of independent schools that c=
an work with one another to offer outstanding online courses to supplemen=
t and extend our curricula in new and exciting ways. As the authors of Di=
srupting Class make so clear,
online courses are coming, and are coming in a big way.
As all of use struggle to help students with special needs, be they advan=
ced topic courses for those who work beyond the reach of our curriculum, =
highly targeted courses in areas we can't offer, remediation for learners=
with certain challenges - whatever
the need, online courses offer us another way to meet our kids where they=
are. The current financial conditions, and environmental sustainability,=
require that we seriously consider online learning.
