Online learning is becoming increasingly popular across the country. However, some states have implemented regulations that have hindered the movement’s progress, barring access to online education for hundreds of thousands of children. Is Tennessee one of those states where online learning can thrive, or do state laws and regulations put up a firewall for students and families?
