　　About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in

school buildings.

　　Instead, they receive their elementary and high school education by working

at home on computers. The center for Education Reform says the United States

has 67 public “cyberschools(网络学校)” and that is about twice as many as

two years ago.

　　The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments

of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools 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 work

at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were

unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by

computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

　　Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more

popular. For example, a new cyberschools 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 cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such

students finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently

met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.
