Guest Commentary: Oklahoma School Board Should Continue to Eye Virtual Schooling Providers

The Oklahoman Editorial Board likes virtual schools and the direction it is taking education.
But most Oklahomans are slow to accept change. Any change. That's why the editorial board advises the state's ed board to take it slow when it comes to virtual school issues.
The newspaper's editorial says it views for-profit companies that provide curriculum, instructors, and school management with some wariness. It's not that their against the for-profits, it's just that for-profit companies being so hands-on in providing classroom experiences--even online classroom experiences.
"It's OK to wade in carefully," the editorial states. "Credible providers won't mind answering all the questions officials can muster."
