Re: A listing of Virtual Schools

Thank you so much. This will be very helpful if we end up needing it. I have 3 children of varying ages.

Re: A listing of Virtual Schools

Actually, I placed this list here with some reservation. This list is only good as long as the net is up and running and there is someone to 'man' the virtual schools. If the pandemic is severe, I wouldn't count on that for long. Please have a back up plan!

Thank you, MHSC, for your work in compiling these lists.

A couple of suggestions regarding a back up plan:

Look up your state's DOE site and find your state's curriculum standards - larger state's may defer to the various districts to set the curriculum. Coming up with a plan should start with determining the requirements of your state.

Check out local homeschooling organizations. If you have trouble finding one, the Home School Legal Defense Assn. site should be helpful
(USA) http://www.hslda.org/Default.asp?bhcp=1
(CANADA) http://www.hslda.ca/
Homeschool orgs often have information on state requirements, curriculum links, and support for those considering homeschooling. Whether considering homeschooling, by choice or force, such sites can help, particularly if you find it difficult to find help from your state's ed dept. or local school. In my experience, public education officials are not too excited about passing out free home education ideas.

PS. For public ed supporters who want to flame me, please don't. My children are in public school. However, I have "homeschooled" in the past and would not hesitate in the future.:smartass:

Re: A listing of Virtual Schools

I have been working on a back up plan for some time now. I have ordered many children's books over the last year and collected the summer work packets from numerous teachers for the next grade up. I volunteer at my school regularly so the teachers are more than happy to help in any way they can. They make think I'm a little over the edge at times when I ask them for study material for 1/2 to 1 year ahead of there age, but they appreciate the help they receive, so their more than willing to accommodate. I'm certainly NOT claiming, I will be the greatest teacher on this planet, but at least they wont get horribly behind. The virtual school list will be a great addition if the net is running. Thanks again.

Great thread everyone. Thanks.

Everyone will be a "homeschooler" in a pandemic because the schools and day cares will be closed for a period of time to help prevent the spread of disease.
