No, this is not home school (I’m all for homeschooling, unfortunately, it’s just not practical for us). This is a Texas public school, conducted online. The courses are self paced, with only the ending date being specified, and they are tailored to the individual child. I expect to see my kid burn through them quickly.
What's nice about these online schools is the one on one with the teachers communicating with your child when they want clarification or don't understand. My sons daughters loved the idea their teachers were available to them and truly enjoyed these instructors as well. They said they felt the teachers wanted them to succeed and were far better at making a course interesting then in public schools. My son and his wife set the hours for study in the morning...just as they would have to get up for school....but the girls were free once they completed their work. BTW it was determined and agreed by all they would do it for one year and if it didn't work then they would go another route. It went wonderful!...and they looked so forward to the next year as well.
