We use Bill Bennett's K12 curriculum. K12 also works with various states to start "Virtual Charter" public schools using the curriculum. HSLDA mistakenly believes that K12 is trying to undermine homeschooling by doing this. All they are doing is offering a choice to parents. If the parent chooses this path rather than pure homeschooling it is their own business.
Incidentally, it also provides competition to the public school establishment.
Choice and competition will force our public schools to improve, and I believe even HSLDA agrees with that. Yet when that competition and choice is there in this form they speak against it.
My desire for children to get a quality education does not stop at the end of my driveway.

HSLDA mistakenly believes that K12 is trying to undermine homeschooling by doing this. Thanks for explaining this. It's the first I'd heard of it.
