The irony of the K-12 charter is that those who have previously homeschooled do not qualify. Kind of pushing away a target audience from the get-go.

Not precisely sure what you're talking about as far as those who have previously homeschooled not qualifying to use K12 -- I think that may be a condition in some states. That is, so far as I know, the decision of a district and the charter school choosing to use the K12 curriculum (which, I should add, I don't agree with). That is not a universal situation, for instance, the charter schools using K12 in California welcome those who have previously homeschooled privately.

There is also an important distinction, K12 is a curriculum, not the actual school. It may be purchased to use as a private homeschooler any way one likes. It is also the chosen curriculum of a number of "virtual charter schools" and they all have their own rules and regs. K12 has nothing to do with those.

My state tried to eliminate homeschoolers from charter schools but that's not true anymore. I don't know whether a judge made a decision or the state changed its mind.

A state would have to offer a homeschooler a place in a public school. Why should a charter be any different, since it's basically a public school?
