Option 1

 * Article title
 * Virtual school


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is part of a WikiProject. The article has been noted to need some work on the citations and on expanding the perspective so that it is not biased towards one side. The article does discuss the topic of virtual school. In the talk page, many suggested to merge the article with cyber school stating that it is the same; however another person brought up the point that they are different. The article has a section titled Advantages and Disadvantages. I think there could be more included on the article; especially since virtual learning has become more relevant in our current times. The citations are not all fully cited. Does need some double checking of the sources. Most of the links do work.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * School violence


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is part of many different WikiProjects. The article does discuss the topic stated. It has been noted that there could be some improvements that could be made on this article; improving it so that the tone is more neutral or Wikipedia tone. On the talk page, it was suggested that there should be a focus on the statistics of school violence; however some have countered saying that their focus should not be on the statistics. Most of the links work on the References section of the article. The citations do seem reliable.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Technology integration


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is part of multiple WikiProjects. It has been noted that there is a lot of work that needs to be done to improve this article. There could be a change in some of the language so that the tone of the article is not so personal and could be more formal. It is also brought up that there needs an expert opinion on some sections. The talk section discusses how some points of the article could be improved by the wording of some sentences and using different definition of the topic. Some links do not work or have expired. Some of the citations need to be worked on because they do not seem to be full citations.
