We virtual school and semantics-wise, it depends on my audience whether I correct the perception of homeschooling vs. virtual schooling
In our state the p.s. sponsored VA has elements of support for hs'ers. We don't
have to follow the curriculum exactly. We don't
have to take all the courses. We can opt out of state testing. We can be hs'ers choosing one element of the curriculum they offer. This year w/ds as a kindergartener we've done the whole curriculum. Next year, as a 2nd grader (mama brag warning
he's already through K and into 1st grade stuff) we'll probably only do 2 subjects from the VA and only because I feel the curriculum is the strongest out there. But I know other VA's don't have that kind of freedom and it really depends on the state.
