How do you feel about high school students being required to take online classes?
“I don’t feel it is right at all. It may be true that there are those who have the responsibility to do the work and do it right, but at the same time there are those who are going to look at it as a complete joke and will cheat, lie and have other people do their work for them so they can pass.”

“I think schools should be required to offer them, as there are students who need to work at their own pace to prevent getting bored, but students should not be required to take them.”

“While there are some benefits from online classes, I have never learned as much from an online class as I have in person. There is also the responsibility that comes with online classes that can make them more demanding than their in-person counterparts, which I’m unsure whether or not most high school students have. … It seems like the Luna bills put Idaho in dead last for education in the nation.”

“I think it’s a great way to prepare students for college. Online classes (only two credits worth) are a great way to show kids how much work it takes to pass college level classes.”

“I love to see my tax dollars going to buy students laptops that they can potentially access sites that are not directly linked to school work (porn, Facebook, etc … ) at the expense of Idaho taxpayers. Sure would have been nice if the state of Idaho bought me a laptop for college …”
