Boston Globe columnist Jim Stergios is on a tear. If he has it his way, he will push Massachusetts into the 21st century when it comes to virtual education.
A few weeks ago, Stergios wrote a column in which he talked about the good news and the bad news in Massachusetts education.
"The good news for Massachusetts is that last January the state passed a law to double the number of charter schools. Further good news is that students in our charters consistently do better than their district peers; in other states that level of consistency is not always the rule.," Stergios wrote.
"The bad news for Massachusetts is that states like Florida, Colorado, Michigan, Arizona and so many others are pushing forward with digital learning much faster than the Bay State is."
Stergios has written another column about online learning. This one is called "Virtually There."
"If Massachusetts has because of lack of leadership within the Board and the Department of Education, ground to a halt on digital learning, other states are moving fast, he wrote in the latest column.
"Virtually, Massachusetts is way behind states across the country – places not known for as sustained and comprehensive a commitment to reform as the Bay State," he added.
