Utterly Meaningless

Well, I guess the main thing I get from that is “it’s all about the money”.

Bennett, etc. can make a killing on half the per-student funds with the internet schoolhouse method. The example of the “homeschool” mom lamenting paying $400/year for materials and rejoicing over giving up all teaching freedoms so the virtual school can get $3500 is kinda sad. But so is the fact that the school system pockets a couple G’s for absolutely nothing.

My new slogan: “If it uses public funds…it’s public school”.

Daryl, I really didn’t get the concern over misuse of the term homeschooling when you posted on it a while back. It does seem to be somewhat of an easy target for both sides (g-school/charter) to take advantage of. I will be more vigilant in the future.

They’ve started a virtual academy where I live. The district has geared it to homeschoolers.

I hope people see it for what it is…

I spend more that $400.00 a year on curriculum. That money is well spent for my children.
