Online High

Surprisingly, New York City has no public online high schools. Why? Because it is written into their state’s education code that a certain percentage of a course must include “seat time.” This is time physically in a classroom. I suspect that when this code was passed, it made sense. It no longer does. The folks at the Board of Education feel the same, so it is only a matter of time before online courses become available to New York City students.
