I guess I had the impression homeschooling was about parents ‘teaching’ the classes. Now it seems much is done on-line with parents assisting, and determining the hours and times for this.
The girls have provided computers I understand and is part of a network of Charter schools across Pa. They have orientation ahead and this particular charter school graduated 300 last year. D.I. LAW said they spent weeks and weeks examining these schools before they chose the one they selected. ...primarily for it's focus on academics and parental involvement and strong history of solid ratings by those who “grade” these schools.
Charter schools are not homeschooling in any form - they are schools with buildings. Cyber schools are the primary/secondary equivalent of University of Phoenix: the student is enrolled in either the public or private school, just has he would be in a school with a physical plant.
HSLDA does not consider government-run cyber-schools to be “homeschooling,” even though the student is at home, because all the requirements are controlled by the state. The states also consider such students “public schooled,” just like those who attend school in a building.
