Terry L. Stoops is the director of educational studies for the John Locke Foundation, a North Carolina-based, nonprofit think tank dedicated to "a North Carolina of responsible citizens, strong families, and successful communities committed to individual liberty and limited, constitutional government."
In a recent op-ed in the Raleigh News & Observer, Stoops took a hard look at the ups and downs of the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS). He points out that after its 2007 launch, the NCVPS stumbled. New leadership was brought in and now NCVPS has the nation's second highest number of course enrollments and is a leader in the virtual education movement."In an era when schools, districts and states must do more with less, extensive virtual schooling can no longer exist as an accessory. It has become a necessity," Stoops writes.
