Instead,they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers.The Center for Education Reform. says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form. of education for letting students work at their own speed.These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

At that moment I noticed the similarity between fish and haiku.
Nowadays, if Mom doesn't ever serve fish for dinner at least the kids get a taste of
haiku at school.
For most of us,our first introduction comes from reading translations from Japanese,
which is a bit like comparing sushi to frozen fish sticks. Even with the knowledge of the
exotic, most poets stick to the meat and potatoes of English literature. It often isn’t until we get older that we accept the simple goodness of fish,adding them to the menu more often.
Having acquired a taste for fish and learned how to cook them, one is better able to
appreciate the short form. of haiku. Like fishing, haiku writing can be done with minimal
equipment. A pin or a pen,and a scrap of paper, is enough,but it is tempting to go all out and buy a rod and reel (even study Zen,visit a monastery or take a trip to Japan).
If one goes in for deep sea fishing,a computer and laser printer are soon on the list of 'must haves'.
Like fishing, to catch haiku you have to go where they are. Unlike fish, haiku are
everywhere. Still,you have to know the secret places where they hide and how to get there.
Wearing old comfortable clothes(usually thought of as a meditative state) we look around
just where we are. It does little good to only read of fishing off the coast of Japan when
sitting beside the lake by our own front door. It does help to know which fish are edible and which are not. There are two ways of finding this out. We can either eat everything we catch and publish what feels right, or we can read books containing others’experiences while making up our minds about what kind of fish to go for.
If we compare spending days on rough seas to fish or strolling on the beach writing
haiku; it is very easy for me to decide where my interest lies. Still I do love a fish dinner and I hope my neighbor enjoys my latest poems.
