Comments from Jay Bennett, MVS Instruction and Course Coordinator (continued) Q: What challenges have you seen with online learning or virtual schooling? A: Same as face-to-face. Not every kid is built to take courses in a classroom of 30 students with one instructor, and not all kids are built for online learning, because they lack self-discipline. If they are not getting the support on either end, it is not going to work. There are no more or less advantages / disadvantages; just differences. Q: MVS offers classes to grades 6-12. Do you see more success in any particular age bracket? A: All students are different. A lot depends on the support that they are getting at school and at home.

Comments from Jay Bennett, MVS Instruction and Course Coordinator (continued) Q: Any closing comments you would like to add regarding virtual schooling and online learning? A: I think it is important to realize that online learning and virtual schooling is another tool that we can use to become the ‘be-all or end-all.’ Virtual schools and online learning offer flexibility and alternatives – they are just another option that the kids have available to them.
