Kids in B.C. can now take almost every course required in K to 12 online, from math and science to social studies and art, even physical education, thanks to the Ministry of Education's Distributive Learning initiative. But public education advocates say pushing online learning for everyone could erode the universal access and quality of education in this province. Helesia Luke is one such advocate. "The things she was doing online, they were pretty demanding in terms of understanding how online learning works, and actually things that aren't necessarily obvious when you're in Grade 10, like going to the Conference Board of Canada's website, for example, or getting a question like 'Think of a time when you had a conflict with a coworker and how did you handle it?
