In and of itself, this looks at the outset like an insufficient model. There is tremendous value in capturing the technological advances of the virtual world into the education sector, but to merely adopt this, extricating PE and music (there is art, contrary to the teacher union representative and PE is not listed in the curriculum, contrary to the CVCS FAQ page http://www.chicagovcs.org/curriculum/index.html ) is to leave a promising potential open to oppositions, not because of what the model does but what it doesn't do. The worst case scenario is that the technology is dictating the curriculum rather than educators, education specialists and researchers.
This looks like a promising model but might it be pushed out too prematurely? Maybe a more conservative adaptation would have better results. If struck down, the unfortunate effect will be that more complete models in the future incorporating the technological advances of virtual classrooms in the public school arena might be similarly regarded, and written off. If successful, there might opportunities to incrementally improve the model over time.
One of the challenges (and necessities) of working in a technology firm is that we are constantly driven by the physical dimensions influencing online interactions see our blog http://theworkplaceblog.com/. This story is a good reminder of that necessity.
