Online school good for Iowa? Prove it!

Well, I didn't think I'd see the day when anyone would just open this Pandora's box, especially here. A little friendly competition is one thing, but this is just a grab for the money. If the State of Iowa wants to support something online that makes sense, put all approved, or approved by the majority of districts, textbook series online. California has done this, and I won't go into the discussion about doing anything California does, but this is something that should be done soon. This would be helpful. Find the Horizon Report, read it. I believe that the prediction of "open source" education within 5 years is accurate, though I'll bet it will be sooner than that. The internet is a big place, it has room for quality information. Sure you can learn from the internet, but can you retain it? We'll being hearing a lot about Hybrid classrooms, but the teacher is still the key.

I should put a disclaimer here that I'm not going to worry sentence structure, grammar, etc. I should worry about it, but its hard to find the time.
