In the past decades school drop outs are not given importance by the government as well as the schools where they are suppose to be educated in order to become good and responsible citizens of the country. Thanks to online education. Now their dreams can still come true.

In Brooksville, Los Angeles, Hernando County made an effort to give hope to school drop outs through the creation of online education. They are now contacting several companies to help them working for the plan. In fact, on Tuesday, the Penn Foster Career School has already endorsed a proposal to help educate at least 30 students who are drop outs. The pilot online education program would be a great help for these school children to realize they can still work on for their future. The school is now on its completion stage as students would be starting to go back to school in January. Officials are also planning to find ways to look for more school drop outs and help them back to where they should be in their younger years. The students, officials said, should finish online degree program to give them good future.

A month ago it was also learned that the board has rejected the same proposal by a certain school to open a 350-student school for the reported drop outs in the next school year. They claimed many are worried at handling 90 percent of the funding from the state to what they called a profit oriented company.

CEO Stuart Udall said his company is very cost effective. He said students can even take at least $585 or $1,500 for a single course to over 12 months’ unlimited amount.

Supt. Wayne Alexander, for his part, said the deal as well as the opportunity for the district to earn from the program is, in fact, compelling.

Penn Foster was founded in 1890 with only the basic purpose of training the coal miners but it has grown to become the nation’s biggest online schools. It now even boasts of around 12,000 students in the state of Florida. The student population also includes the areas of Pinellas County schools, Palm Beach, as well as in other districts of Florida such as Brevard, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade.

The number of drop outs in said place is numbering about 70 percent and many companies are now working to forge relationships and make the program for online education successful.
