Dabbling ducks eat plants, seeds, grasses and other small insects and animals that they find on or under the water. Ducks which have broad beaks, (shovelers) sift their food for insects, snails and seeds from the mud.
According to a new report from the National Education Policy Center, which operates out of U Colorado Boulder's School of Education, there were 338 full-time virtual schools operating as part of a public education system in 30 states in the 2012-2013 academic year. That's up from 311 the previous year.
In December 2011 â just before the start of the spring semester â students enrolled in 19,182 Virtual School courses. More than 148,000 students completed online courses through the Florida Virtual School this year. Thatâs up from 122,000 students the year before. But it is hard to tease out how much of that increase is due to fewer summer school options at the district level.
