Online schools

How typical of National to copy the US educational systems, online and charter, which are proving to be total disasters in America. Online providers taking public money and falsifying students’ attendance are rife. Thousands of online students are not bothering to connect and study, and fraud and mismanagement exists on a grand scale.

Last year USA ranked 14th, below Russia, in education. Why follow failed business models in education when you could copy successful countries such as South Korea (first) or Finland (fifth). I dare say there will be even more children in the malls during school time in the future.
