| Description | We expect Florida to be on the cutting edge of roller coasters and SEC offenses.
But Florida as a trend setter in 21st-century education?

Parents love it. Many middle-school and high-school kids thrive in it. They can take Chinese or Latin, computer science or Advanced Placement algebra — all without an additional bus ride.
