Episode Details

The pandemic upended education, and even as kids return to classrooms, many families are choosing virtual learning. Veteran teacher Chris McComb, who spent 28 years in person, now teaches nearly 200 students online—logging 9 hours a day while gaining more planning time and parent engagement. Districts like Round Rock ISD are responding with a new virtual academy offering 50+ courses, including AP and dual credit, letting students log in daily for attendance but schedule assignments flexibly. Designed to lure students from across Texas—even into its top high schools remotely—the program may expand to middle school next year, as enrollment dips and families explore homeschooling or charter schools.
