I think I'm going to seriously consider it for next year. I have to talk to the school district. They have an independent study program where the kid reports to a teacher (from the district), the teacher does the testing, and the district supplies the curriculum. I think my kids can do this and still get special ed services. The big thing will be whether or not my daughter can still receive the special ed services. The federal laws were rewritten a few years ago, and the district do not have to pay for special ed for homeschool kids. Lots of homeschool parents are upset. I'm trying to figure out a way around this.

Check Bill Bennet's K12 site.
Many states are included in the "Virtual Elementary" programs, which are free. My great nephew in OH is going through that. They will even send a teacher to the house if the kid is having problems. I would die to have my girls in it but for non-chartered states it's 1300.00 a year!
