Survey article noting the rise of non-traditional education in the United States. "New educational options -- such as charter schools, home schools and distance learning -- are gaining ground and remain a subject of debate." Lumping the three into a single category as this does, the article is a little misleading. And the usual bugbear - the isolated learner - is elicited as a criticism of the set. Another, better, report documents student satisfaction with online schools. Via ADL.
