Parents
Parents of OnlineHighSchool.org students enjoy the high level of transparency and accountability of our program. With the ability to check grades or progress on every graded task, available 24 hours a day, there are no end of the semester surprises typical of the over crowded, brick and mortar, classrooms.
Parents also enjoy seeing their children flourish in a positive, safe learning environment far away from the dangers and pressures of the traditional high school campus.
Of concern to parents and students alike is the effect online schooling has on students’ social lives and their ability to work in collaboration with others. Aware of this concern, we strongly advise that our students participate in social events in addition to their schooling. Many of our students are already embedded in the social sphere of their athletic teams, youth groups, work place, and other social venues. In addition to this we also strongly suggest our students participate in community service engagements.
Finally, it should be noted that the “missing” social interaction of the high school campus is in itself an anomaly in the history of humanity and has only been the norm for a short 50 years of american history. Once again, the tide of change is reforming our nation and in most areas the brick and mortar model is going to need to adjust or be washed away by change.
