With the case of online education, one billionaire in particular – Bill Gates - has a dream that one day all children will receive the benefits of online education (which just coincidentally benefits his corporation Microsoft). So why do they continue to grow like a cancer destroying our education system? The answer is “Greed.” Where there is a profit to be made, some billionaire will be willing to step in and fund the scam in order to get some of the billions of dollars we invest as tax payers in the education of our children. All of them harm children rather than help them. Because the future of our children is at stake, parents have a right to know the full truth about all of these programs. It therefore sells itself as the magic cure to education – just as high stakes tests are sold as the magic cure and common core standards are sold as the magic cure and charter schools are sold as the magic cure. It therefore is driven to lie to increase market share and increase sales and profits. The problem with K12 INC is that it is a for profit corporation. Over 90% of K12 INC enrollees eventually drop out of the terrible program – but are left with even lower self esteem than when they entered the program. Both of our children have been subjected to these misleading claims and have friends who have been taken in and severely harmed by K12 INC propaganda. It is likely that your child's school district has a Virtual Academy and that your child has already been subjected to mass marketing campaigns that target and deceive young children with misleading ads on the Disney and Nickelodeon channels with false claims that online learning is much easier and more fun than attending a normal public school. Instead, it hides behind dummy non-profit corporations called “Virtual Academies” such as the Washington Virtual Academy (or WAVA) in our home State of Washington or the Colorado Virtual Academy (or COVA) in Colorado. This for profit corporation not only destroys the future of children – many of whom actually regress academically after starting this program – but it also destroys the reputation of online education. The fourth and perhaps most damaging weapon of mass deception is a vicious Wall Street corporation called K12 INC - a profit-driven corporation that now has branches in nearly every State. Finally, we summarize free open source alternatives to K12 INC for the small percentage of students that might actually benefit from an online educational program. We then debunk several myths and lies promoted by K12 INC. We then describe some of the major drawbacks of K12 INC. We begin by reviewing the history of K12 Inc. This fourth chapter is divided into four sections:Ĥ.1 Why All Parents Need to Learn About the Drawbacks of K12 INCĤ.3 K12 Distortions, Deceptions and Outright LiesĤ.4 Free Open Source Alternatives to K12 INC The real purpose of K12 INC is to rob tax payers of billions of dollars and rob children of their future. In this chapter, we will show that K12 INC is simply one more billionaire weapon of mass deception against our public schools. This darling of Wall Street has an annual dropout rate of more than 50% and a graduation rate of less than 30%. One of the worst charter schools in America is a fake online school called K12 INC.
