(CBS News) After years spent trying to help troubled youths learn their place in their communities, more kids are turning to online courses. But some critics say they encourage students to learn “nothing,” while parents want more guidance and a return to the classroom. And experts say there are no clear answers.
The online course, called “Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Adolescents,” claims its instructors will help students get jobs with low expectations, find work and stay in school.
