There are considerable waiting lists for cyberschools here in Michigan.

I think I would have done far better if something like this had been available back in the 80s.

Same here. No more worrying about the bullies smacking me around in the playground at recess. No yucky school food. No teachers claiming I insulted them by mentioning church in an essay (yes, that happened). No gum wads being spat at the back of my shirt. No getting stabbed with a pencil because I wouldn’t pass somebody’s note. Being able to study something until *I* got it, not until the teacher decided it was time. Or, being able to move on after getting it, instead of waiting while the teacher rehashed it for the rest of the class. No having to beg for bathroom priviledges. No bus rides.

There are times when the classroom format works best, and it is good to know how to sit still and pay attention when needed. But, not all the time!

I probably would’ve done better as well if I was home schooled. My endocrine disease would’ve been a non-factor because I’m sure I would’ve been done by age 16; the surgery would have been done after, then gone on to college, either a traditional one or a technical school.
