schools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago. the money for students to attend a cyber school comes from the governments of the states where they live. some educators say cyber schools 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

who live far from school.whatever the judgment of cyber schools, they are getting more and more popular. for example, a new cyber school called commonwealth connections academy will take in students this fall. it will serve children in the state of pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.children get free equipment for their online education. this includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.students at cyber schools usually do not know one another. but 56
