Distance learning: Partial answer for Montana students at smaller schools

Meghan Combs loaded her final year at Fromberg High School with eight credits.

She juggles government, English, calculus, art, band, choir, chemistry and agriculture technology in classrooms surrounded by other students. But for her physics class, it’s just her, her computer and an online instructor 250 miles away at C.M. Russell High School in Great Falls.

Fromberg High, in Carbon County, offers physics every other year, alternating with chemistry. This year, chemistry was on the schedule. Combs, who transferred from Joplin at the start of the school year, hadn’t planned on missing physics.

"It’s something I wanted for college,” she said. "I’m looking at going into medicine and want all the sciences I can get.”
