Los Angeles –the city’s virtual high school will be completely operational in the fall 2010 offering online education to 9th and 10th graders while a K-12 institution is currently being prepared for the future.

The virtual high school which has 650 students enrolled had been a long time scheme; especially students have been very enticed with the virtual education model and most people have been taking education online for career advancements.

While high school students enroll online for remedial classes. The Los Angeles Unified School Division had also increased its student number in at least one of their online classes since 2007.

The LAUSD is the largest public school system in California and 2nd in the United States. The newly operational school will enable non-traditional students such as; home schooled children to be a part of LAUSD. The school will also provide affordable and a wide range of advance classes to prospective students of the school district.

The initiative have been pursued due to the seen benefits of virtual education to learners. According to the report of the education department; online learning brings a –conducive to learning –environment and initiates more student progress compared to the traditional scene.

The virtual classroom will let students to experience a different perspective considering education. Students will have web chat instead of the face to face class setting. The power of technology will be utilized to the maximum unblocking learning hindrances. Student will also have online coursework with the aid of multimedia and needed online education resources.

Teachers can conduct conference to universities worldwide and their teaching faculties for distant sharing of information. Students will also be kept away from distraction such as tight competition.

Red Rock Academy has been recently launched after Principal David Lykins developed an online approach out of the traditional campus schools education. Students of its sister school Sedona Red Rock High School now has alternative education option.

Academy students will experience hybrid education composed of outstanding curriculum accessible online supported by the oversight of the highly qualified faculty of SRRHS. Principal Lykins informed that the academy started years ago when he lead the Jupiter Canyon Alternative School.

Red Rock Academy guarantees students with 90 percent and above completion rates due to the faculty’s commitment to resolve learning problems in a personalized and timely manner. Another advantage is the nationwide access for all students and portable online education resources for all the coursework. Also, the district will receive the 80 percent of the funding coming form the enrolled students.

However, the online high school courses will only be used accordingly and will not be taken with purpose of graduating early.

Lykins believes that this will reduced the dropout percentage producing a lot of graduates. It will also provide alternative to standard delivery of instruction, flexibility of schedules especially summer classes and will likely provide special education benchmark. Leaning will also be equipped with technology which will hasten reception for all type of learners.

But Lykins admits that online education is not suitable to everyone because of students varied learning styles. For some, attending on ground education will still be preferable due to many factors like, social need, computer illiteracy, and lack of online education equipments e.g. computer and internet connection. For the rest, it would be very convenient and would save time and effort upon attendance especially for working students.

Administrators have meet together and discussed about certain issues concerning the program. School Board President Bobbie Surber expressed that brick and mortar education is still best and been proven despite the accessibility of education online. But Lykins pointed that the institutions will still be a traditional campus and online courses will be another option for students. Lykins expects that such program will be embraced by more people in the future which will increase online education enrollment.

Online education will always depend on the student’s motivation. Attending online classes can benefit those students who cannot go to school campuses due to inevitable circumstances or students who doesn’t prefer sitting in a hard chaired classroom.

For many students, the social interaction and physical immersion is the best experience when attending a traditional school which is barely experienced by students taking distance education. No gyms for physical education classes, no group interactions, neither prom nights. But not all students have interest in listening for hours in a caged classroom. Some students prefer studying at home. Others get distracted by the tight academic competition inside the classroom. While the rest have own reasons and disabilities so they can’t go to traditional schools. Take for example Taylor Wilmot who graduated recently in a Virtual Learning Academy. Wilcom used to be enrolled in Bishop Guertin High School, a private school, but because of financial disability her family decided to transfer her in Nashua High School which is a public school. However, Wilcom didn’t like the learning environment and cannot relate with her new mates so she decided to stop her high school education. Gladly, the school counselors suggested her to attend an online high school and it fitted her preference.

Wilcom has now graduated with online education but she admitted it wasn’t that easy like most testimonials she finds on the net. Wicom had to resist her self from being distracted to different entertainment online. Wilcom works and study at the same time but she claimed that studying online was very favorable because she gets to study at anytime she wants. Today, Wilcom will be attending classes at Nashua Community College and she admits that she will be having a hard time going into a hard chaired classroom again.

Wilcom might not be the only student which will grasp college education in a traditional campus but definitely the rest of her online high school batch mates will have a challenging time in adjusting their conditioned environment to a new education setting.
