I don’t think it is. I know if I was still in Philly, my kids would Not be homeschooled.

We fit none of what you describe nor will it inflame. We offered my daughter, who was a junior at the time, the same option. She wanted to stay at the local HS. She was taking 2 classes a day and was a 3 time captain of the softball team. She was coasting and having fun and already had college lined up.

My son was in middle school and standardized testing was king. The teachers were teaching to pass the tests and not much more. It was a waste of his time and frustrated him. We started with 1 class online and then added another. We found it fit him better and he was learning at his pace. 7th grade rolled around and we went full online. My wife handles the majority of it and has a mix of programs depending on the course.

Now most of his friends are in some sort of online because of the Chinese Virus. The parents who questioned us to start now are telling us they should have done the same.

I identify as the poster with the most suspensions in UHND history.
