Having read through all three websites of the distance learning option. It clear we are in the era of technology and it makes sense for some families to choose a online school if they feel their child's needs aren't being met, or if they are unable to attend a regular school environment.
The online school I would chose for my three children would be connections academy. After reading all their info and seeing their lesson plans and knowing what a typical day would include and the fact they have field trips and meet days so the children can get together. Another reason I liked this one a little more was the fact they wouldn't be on the computer all day long they would have papers and books they can do and that appealed to me.
The one I didn't like the most was OHDELA the reason I didn't like this one as much as the others because if felt it was more for the parents than the children and yes they had virtual classrooms but some kids cannot sit that long and listen to those long lectures and maybe that is the reason some families are leaving the school system.
All three sites were well laid out and easy to use and I know if my child chose the DL option they would be setup for success .
