Lightning in a Bottle

The University of North Texas has backed away from a plan to set up the first completely online public school in Texas. The proposal was very controversial, and there are no standards currently in place for approving such a charter school program.

(Sounds like a good idea to me - don’t you want to know what the expectations are for a project before actually turning it in?)
