[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 47068"] I can answer this, too, as we've used the online school - in the past (and probably next year) for difficult child and easy child is doing it this year. It's a charter school. IOW, it's a public school that is internet based. The kids have teachers and can correspond via email or the phone. Assignments are turned in via email - either as a Word or Excel file, or via scanner. I believe Lisa's kids and mine use the same online school. Since it is a public school, all state education curriculum is followed and achievement tests are mandated. For this particular school, you have to be a resident of the state of Ohio. You may check with your State Board of Education on their charter schools. It's important that your daughter is responsible enough to do her work timely as she's not going to have a teacher standing over her like in a classroom. It requires a bit more motivation in that regard. But, what's nice is that the assignments are usually posted for the whole quarter - sometimes for the entire semester - so the kids can work ahead. The online school is officially out June 14 (I think), but easy child will be done by the end of next week. For this particular school, I've been extremely happy with the level of commitment from the teachers. They have the same number of students - or more - than in a traditional classroom, but since they're not all in front of the teacher at the same time, the teacher has more time for individual instruction as needed by the child. Also, a lot of kids that attend this school do so because they cannot function in a traditional school environment, so the teachers are familiar with working with the un-typical kid. I'm sure Lisa will pipe in with her opinion on the school, too. I've been more than happy with it. [/QUOTE]
