Ohio considers online driver's education program
Posted: at 9:28 am
TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - It's offered in other states, teens taking driver's education classes on-line. Could that become an option here in Ohio?
During a meeting in Napoleon with driver school operators and two state lawmakers, discussion focused on the importance of continuity between classroom and street instruction.
"It would be a bad thing because the things we teach in the classroom go over into the car." says Bonnie Lech with the Key Driving School in Napoleon.
"We are teaching lifelong safety skills they need to learn in the classroom, then it has to be a one-on-one when they're out driving." says Donna Foster with Mid-America Driver Training in Bowling Green.
Even though traditional driving schools would still be needed to perform on-the-road training, Foster says on-line programs would result in jobs lost in Ohio:
"My school in Bowling Green has 18 employees. If the on-line program was allowed to go through, I would probably go down to maybe 3 or 4 employees."
State Senator Cliff Hite says he's not sure he could support legislation to create on-line driver's education courses.
"When you do math on-line that's a little different than when you're doing driver's education where people's lives could be in danger if you're not instructed well, so it's a good argument."
State Representative Bruce Goodwin is also skeptical should a proposal go before Ohio lawmakers.
"I was a former educator. I believe you can't replace that person in the classroom as easily as many people believe."

Online education coalition sues state over budget cuts
Posted: at 9:28 am
OLYMPIA — An online learning coalition has filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming that budget cuts have hit alternative-education programs harder than traditional schools, violating the state constitution.
Members of the Washington Families for Online Learning filed the lawsuit in King County Superior Court this week.
It alleges that lawmakers last year cut Alternative Learning Experience programs, which includes K-12 online education offered by dozens of school districts, an average 15 percent more than traditional schools.
They said a state Supreme Court decision issued last month reinforced their decision to sue. The court ruled that the state is failing to meet its constitutional duty to provide a basic education to all the state’s children.

Coaching through the tears

It was probably the longest day of Staci Lange-Rice’s life. And the Savage girls basketball coach ended it by trying to lead the Warriors at a game.
On the morning of Jan. 7, Lange-Rice, who is a Sidney High School teacher, was volunteering at First Lutheran Church, Savage, by making meatballs for its annual lutefisk meal. She then received a call that fellow teacher and close friend Sherry Arnold was missing.
Lange-Rice and Arnold had built a solid friendship teaching math at Sidney High School for the past nine years.
“What drew us so close was Sherry’s and mine interests were so much the same,” Lange-Rice said. “Socially, it was always about our kids �“ we were always calling or texting what our kids were doing.”
They also experienced similar backgrounds. “We talked about our dads and their old ways of doing things. And we would chuckle about it,” Lange-Rice said. “Just finding peace out there (in the country) �“ there’s not as much stress or deadlines. There’s a lot that’s true about animals calming your nerves.”
Despite not knowing them well, Arnold always wanted to know about Savage’s girls basketball squad. “My team was always a huge interest of hers. She always asked and knew them by name.”
So on that tragic Saturday, Lange-Rice, in clothes that still stunk from her church’s raw meatballs, joined hundreds of other area residents to search for the missing teacher.
“By noon in my mind, I knew it wasn’t good,” Lange-Rice said.
The Savage native kept searching until late afternoon when she drove quickly back to her house and got dressed for her team’s game in Fairview.
“Fairview was very good to me. They showed a lot of caring and sympathy,” Lange-Rice remembers of that night. “There was a lot of concern on their faces.”
At one point during the game, she was unable to finish a thought during a time-out, but her daughter/player Bridger Rice completed the sentence �“ knowing her mother’s mind.
“It was one of the most difficult jobs I had to do,” Lange-Rice noted. “I knew Sherry would have wanted me to be there at my kids’ activities. Those times are so precious to a mom. My girls (Savage’s players) were very strong. They were very supportive and they took care of me.”
After the contest, a loss for the record, there were a lot of tears shed in Savage’s locker room.
“We were all very strong until after the game,” Lange-Rice remembers. “My feelings caught up to me at the end. I was able to grieve then and my girls were with me.”
The following Friday, it was announced that the missing teacher was believed to be dead. Lange-Rice was on the bench that night in Brockton, but assistant Becky Lyons handled the coaching duties. Lange-Rice, who was driven to the game by co-teacher and friend Mary Pfau, received hugs from referees, Brockton officials and other friends that evening.
Although Lange-Rice does her best to coach the Warriors, she admits her head sometimes isn’t totally on basketball. “It’s something that never leaves my mind,” Lange-Rice said of losing a friend.
Having the responsibilities of mother, teacher and coach hasn’t been easy. “It was hard, but I was always busy. I think that helped me keep my mind off of it. But then I had a lack of sleep because my mind couldn’t stop thinking.”
She and Sherry’s husband, Gary, keep in close contact. She’s established good relationships with some of Sherry’s other close friends. But pain exists daily. “It’s hard to walk by her room and see someone else parked in her parking space.”
She’s thankful for having her team with her during these challenging times.
“I think they’ve bonded into better people and a stronger team. They’re thankful for what they have,” the coach said. “The biggest gift is that they now look out for each other. They make sure no one needs to walk home or will be home alone.”
She notes that she has known three of the players for at least 13 years each. “This team is very close and near and dear to my heart. Their care and compassion was very supportive. I think when you show that, you become so much closer to everybody around you.”
