It looks like digital literacy is becoming necessary to compete at the K-12 school level, where until recently paper and pencil used to rule. Parents are increasingly paying tution for online private high schoolsk said a spokesman for the Evergreen Education Group, which conducts research on online K-12 education . The George Washington University Online High School (GWUOHS), which just launched this year with 18 students, charges $9,999 annually per student.
GWUOHS is a partnership between George Washington University and Virginia-based K12 Inc, which operates public schools in 25 states. The school is targeting college-bound, high achieving students.

Can the compounded advantages of money and advances in digital learning be overcome? What do you think?
