You're so brave to try that. When do you get a break?

Sounds so cool! Wow, it is so amazing how kids are learning "these days": )---that makes me feel so old, but it's true.

I'm sure mod*tot will be reading in no time at all. I'll bet she's as smart as mod*mom was when she was a tot. Keep up the great work and have fun!

I didn't know there was public school online? I'm interested to hear more of your experiences with it.

The online public school is available in some states. check k12.com to see where they have it. so far, it's great, except she's missing all the fun of a playground + classroom full of children :)

"You're so brave to try that. When do you get a break?"

Believe it or not, many homeschooling parents actually *enjoy* spending the extra time with our children. Lol!

Brave is having your 5 year old ride a bus to a place with homogenized learning system that is primarily underserving them.

Besides, we can still go to the park to play (many kids are always there) and our local co-op offers a variety of activities that get the kids into an learning environment more in line with "the real world". :-)

jeri d: There's other offerings online aside from k12. However, k12 is the only one of which I know that is available pre-paid through several states. Google up "online homeschool" and you'll have lots of reading. Cheers!

My husband is the curriculum director for K12's foreign language classes. Go K12!

I have been reserching online learning for my soon to be kindergartener. The public school K class in our area has 40+ kids in it! That is way to many in my opinion. I really enjoyed reading about how the K12 system works for you guys. I've been looking at that one and another online program. Of course I am met with tons of resistence from a few of the grandparents who think I will be damaging my kids with online learning....I disagree, I think it's a fantastic opportunity. Anyway, thanks for your update on the program.
