It appears that virtual schooling will be beneficial in many situations, such as a sick student who needs to complete coursework from home, or offering students the opportunity to take classes that they might not otherwise have been able to. There are also some challenges presented with virtual schooling that include, possibly having inconsistent standards with students who come from cyberschools, or students may want to avoid a certain teacher and elect to take a virtual course instead.
I am not teaching, but from my experience in student teaching, the school I was at was probably not quite yet equipped to deal with the changes that are coming. I believe that although things are changing quickly, I think the changes will be implemented in schools gradually. In the school where I completed my student teaching, students in the 5th grade would probably have the opportunity to take virtual courses. I know the teachers were using technology in their lessons, but virtual schooling changes still need to be implemented gradually.
