There are some major inaccuracies in some of the previous post. There are 5.3 million children in Texas public schools. There are about 320k in private schools. Public school enrollment is up 16% in the past 10 years about 7% in private schools.
Charter schools in Texas aren't allowed to be for profit.
Online education is expensive. Access to a learning management system is about $100 per user if you run the server or about $300 per user if they run the server. Pre packed course cartridges run anywhere from 80-400 per student per semester at the college level. I teach online and hybrid courses so in order to save cost to the students I build the courses. It takes a long time and I spend more time on my online courses then I do in my face to face courses. Some classes work well online some don't. Online isn't going to be the cost effective savior that some think.
The kid in Italy had all kinds of warning signs. He apparently had a hit list that he made in 8th grade. He was known to have violent out burst. How did this kids get a gun?
Did you hear about the foiled attack in Pittsburgh. Kid was overheard on the bus and was turned in. The kid was 14 and in his room were several semi automatic rifles, a hand gun, a cross bow, throwing knives and 2 machetes. How did he get all that stuff?
