[Donovan Arnold]

We should require Idaho Lawmakers to take 3 college credits not online every year so they can see the damage to education they are doing.

Idaho lawmakers review online learning ruleBOISE, Idaho (AP) - State lawmakers are reviewing a plan that makes Idaho the first state to require high school students to take at least two credits online to graduate.
The state Board of Education approved the online learning rule in November despite heavy criticism of the plan at public hearings last summer. The requirement is now going before lawmakers for review, with the Senate Education Committee taking up the proposal Tuesday.
Schools nationwide offer virtual classes, but just three states - Alabama, Florida and Michigan - have adopted rules since 2006 to require online learning. The online rules vary from state to state, but Idaho would be the first to require two credits online.
The measure is part of a sweeping education overhaul signed into Idaho law last year.------------------------------
