The Michigan Virtual High School program has become the second-largest such program in the country, with more than 7,200 student enrollments. The program allows students to take courses over the Internet to earn credit for a variety of classes not offered in their own schools. One student in the program says: "It's not as hard as I thought it would be. You don't have to sit in a classroom and listen to teachers talk. I can only listen to a teacher for so long." Out of 13 states with the program, Florida has the highest enrollment, with an expected 20,000 student enrollments this school
year.
