More than two million students learn online. Some online course providers (Apex, K12, Connections, Florida Virtual, NC Virtual, and Lincoln Interactive to name a few) could triple in size given 60 days notice and do it with consistent quality. We've never had an opportunity like that; it's only local and state policy that stands in the way of better learning opportunities for several million kids and fast.
Community-based Organizations (think the YWCA, YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs) build powerful sustained relationships with youth, engage them in developmental activities, and connect them to youth and family services. Many of them are frustrated by working around struggling schools.
If we combine the two assets--online instruction and powerful community connections--we get one big scalable idea; blends CBOs.
