Nothing wrong with my old history, math and science books. Use them.

The idea is sound, but Creamer sounds like a grifter.

Great idea, but 2 generations late. Now most young parents don’t even have a clue as to what non-woke means and will fight against it. But I wish them the best anyway.

Returning to education as it was in the 60s - before the lefties destroyed it in the 70s with “new” woke textbooks, like Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the American People.”

I suspect the school will reach it’s goal of 10,000 students quickly.

My son was homeschooled for a semester (wanted to return to his regular school for sports) - the online school doubled during that time and was looking at tripling its enrollment the following semester.

Back to teaching the 3 Rs.

Old textbooks never expire. Used mother’s old college texts when I could. The only thing that changed in a biology text was the pictures went from black and white to color. British Lit and Willy Shakespeare hasn’t changed over the centuries.

This is essentially a homeschool program in a box on line. It will work for some familes and some kids, but not all.

A: Not all students have the luxury of a parent to stay home to supervise.

B: Not all students have access to a stable internet connection.

C: As noted above some school districts require enrollment etc to particpate in school sports. Maine does not, but I think there would be some blowback with kids who show up just for the sports, etc.

D: Cost, not all states will fund this type of program.
