But what Mr. Kenkel does not say it what prompted them to take the course was he could not say for sure that he could or would offered the course the following year, their grade 12 year, or if he could offer it that it would be in the first semseter so they would have an oppertunity to take physics 12 as well, which is not offered at his school.

I am fully aware that students taking online courses takes away students and funding from his school but when your are in a rural community it allows the students to stay home, and not to have to move away for school. If they take a course or 2 online he is still getting them for other subjects. If they move away to take course that are not offered in the rural school then he looses them for all subjects.

I know he is walking a tight rope but in the end parents have to do what is best for their own children. Students in rural schools should be able to graduate on time with all the courses they need to enter what ever they want to do after high school without have to go somewhere else to upgrade themselves in order to meet the requirments to get in.

No I don’t want to see rural schools close but I think online schooling is only going to become a bigger part of todays students schooling.
