IT’S STILL NOT HOMESCHOOLING
The worst graf ever written, contrasting Utah’s e-school with the real thing:
Utah’s Electronic High School offers courses for ninth- through 12-graders – taught by real teachers in a virtual environment. EHS is accredited and is free to Utah students. Online learners can transfer EHS course grades to traditional public schools or earn an EHS diploma accepted by colleges.
Just kind of oozes write off the monitor, doesn’t it?

The Pysnaks haven’t left public education’s fold entirely, though They haven’t left it at all. Proud to be a faux teacher! |

I *think* it is homeschoolers accessing a public school program. Florida Virtual School is 2nd to this school. FLVS – appx. 31,000 students, EHS – 51,000. I’m quite sure this isn’t a charter school. There are definitely some differences though that makes me wonder if one can still be hsing while enrolled. Utah state leaders are considering going nationwide with this. |

For clarity, enrollment in a ps program does not allow for one to *homeschool* thru the program. But some states may allow one to keep the homeschool designation and allow hsing to continue with other classes for which the student is not enrolled for. |

Daryl may or may not have Utah readers, but hasat least a couple from Florida. FVS has nothing to do with Utah or with this story, other than it’s ALSO thousands of miles from where Annette homeschools and issues these pronouncements and speculations about education in other states. And it’s not a charter school or related to this topic that I can see. But if anyone wants actual info about it or FL law rather than “wondering, we’re here to ask. |

JJ wrote: FVS has nothing to do with Utah or with this story Well, then JJ you had better notify this reporter the same: Thanks, JJ for the extra push to finally amend the NCSW group description: Who said anything about needing homeschool info from FL? As far as FLVS, I was finally able to get my questions answered accurately when I called and spoke to a very helpful FLVS administrator last year. I guess you can say my hobby and interest is watching ps-at-home programs with an eye on homeschooling. I hope to find representatives from every state (whether hsing or psing-at-home) to become members of NCSW to help in the interpretation of news items and laws of a given state. I officially started my search for hsers input on the Utah electronic high school two hours ago as it has come up on NCSW in June and then here today. So, I hope I won’t be wondering for long. 🙂 |

The horse, like Generalissimo Franco, is still dead. |

How about we get a giant blender to liquefy that dead horse? Then we can strain out the big chunks, beat them some more, then boil down what’s left until it’s solid enough to beat some more. |

🙂 What specifically is the dead horse? Note order of events: If my typing anything on this topic is trying to beat a dead horse, than so be it. But perhaps, there isn’t one problem with my comments. I do not want to convince JJ of anything. Noting: JJ thinks there are better(?) efforts afoot to address the ps/hs issue. She obviously does not think the NCSW is one of the better efforts. Fine. Apparently, some others disagree. We agree to disagree. Right? |

LOL Sam! I always thought it was curious how different meat has different names from the exact same animal, not only if it’s taken from different places but also if the whole animal is young or old, fat, etc. This confused me no end when I was young, venison and veal etc – only in my dotage around the house did I finally ponder the difference between a fryer and a roaster, then I found out if you cut up a roaster it isn’t (a roaster) anymore, even if you roast it . . . |
