More Guilford students take advantage of online classes

By Marquita Brown, Greensboro.com

More students in Guilford County are studying science, Spanish, SAT prep and other courses. But they’re doing it while getting more screen time than face time with a teacher. Such self-guided classrooms aren’t taking the place of the traditional classroom — at least not yet. They are an increasingly popular way for some students to get an edge on their peers. About 2,000 students have taken online classes in Guilford County Schools each year since 2012, when the system first started its virtual public school. Students don’t have to pay to take the classes.
