I would be interested in knowing how the interaction with the teacher/school unfolds.Friends of mine in Alaska, which has a state-run virtual school program, have said that the State's intervention has become more intrusive as more homeschoolers have become dependent on the "freebies" from the State. As I recall, they started with parents being able to use any organized curriculum they chose ... to being able to chose only a "religion-free" curriculum ... to having to use the curriculum designated by the State.
Whether something like this will happen in California remains to be seen, of course, but you can foresee the California authorities having problems with the traditional, American, character-building path of Bill Bennett's guidelines, and demanding "tolerance," "inclusiveness," and "multiculturism."

If that happens I'll be outta there (grin)...some of the stuff they've been introducing in public school is one reason among many that I'm out of the bricks and mortar public school, and conversely I like that K12 emphasizes heroes, great deeds, traditional history, etc.
