K12 has as one of its co-founders convicted felon Michael Milken (I believe former ed secretary Bill Bennett is also a co-founder). Somehow this "school" has been allowed to flourish even when teachers and students don't:
How is ONE teacher supposed to give adequate, individualized attention to 287 students? “I asked how I would manage that many students, especially in a school that advertises itself as providing individual support,” Melony said. COVA administrators told Melony that the hours a traditional teacher would spend creating lessons and attending meetings would be her time to grade student work.
That's because this "teaching" job is actually nothing more than a call center job with "customer service" skills more important than teaching skills.
