The editorial board of the Oklahoman, which bills itself as "the most trusted news source" in Oklahoma, took a step away from the swirling controversy between a small school district that wants to create a virtual charter school and the state's Department of Education.
Instead of rehashing the same old arguments that involve Epic 1 and state education officials, the editorial acknowledges that virtual education is here to stay. What's more, it states that it's time that Oklahoma gets with it.
"A 2009 legislative task force found that the number of Oklahoma students enrolled in a full-time online program more than doubled between the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years. Those numbers will continue to rise if the recent controversies are any indication," according to the editorial.
