She does her courses on-line at home and has just started this semester. She was always an honor student in the past, but the first semester of this year was horible with lack of disrespect amongst students and teachers who didn't care. She is back getting A's and B's and is my happy girl once again. She may continue this through high school if she desires and for me the best of all is that if she chooses to continue, she will be graduating from an accredited school.<BR/>blessings,<BR/>Nancy<BR/>www.basketmasterweavings.blogspot.comNancy at EmbroideryIt.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462544567484306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1234762245143771086.post-75058297695034347752009-02-03T19:11:00.000-08:002009-02-03T19:11:00.000-08:00This sounds really neat.

My children are small yet and I'm happy with our homeschooling curriculum but I can see this being an interesting option especially when they get to high school age. I'm eager to read how your experiences continue to go :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1234762245143771086.post-87850620999065036092009-02-02T12:54:00.000-08:002009-02-02T12:54:00.000-08:00I think these programs are terrific!

Maybe one day this will be an option for more and more families.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726796954968328204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1234762245143771086.post-18971994898245536422009-02-02T07:12:00.000-08:002009-02-02T07:12:00.000-08:00One of my son's friends attends a Virtual School. ...One of my son's friends attends a Virtual School. He loves it and it seems to be the best fit for him. He has been enrolled in it for 3 yrs. now and will graduate this spring.<BR/> He was not always a good student but VS has allowed him to focus on his studies better since he is no longer having to deal with all the distractions in a reg. public high school. He does get plenty of socializing outside of school, so he misses none of the normal teenage stuff.lol<BR/> His mom has had a hard time though with the local school district, as they aren't keen on these virtual schools. It's sad that they can't see beyond their own noses on this. Not all kids learn best in the regular old-fashioned mold of high school. You would think they would truly want what was best for each kids rather than want to fight something that takes away from their perceived 'power base' and bites into the amount of federal dollars they receive for their school district. <BR/> Anyway, enough of my rant....<BR/>I wish the best for your daughter in her new School setting. What an exciting adventure!slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
