What a day! Our first day schooling at home after 2 years. We are trying the Georgia Virtual Academy this year. It was just approved for Georgia in July. Basically, it is public school at home. Our tax dollars pay for the materials (math, language arts, history, science) and even a loaner computer. We follow the lesson plans provided, some online, most offline, and report attendance.
It started out well. We started with Old Testament History and Latin. I teach these to the boys together. They were exited and loved both subjects. Then came the insanity. Curriculum I've chosen in the past has followed the basic format of 1.present the lesson 2. assign work the child can complete independently. You present to one child while the other(s) are working independently. Works great for multi-child families. Weeeeeeeell, it does not seem possible to do this with k12. All lessons seem to require the teacher to be with the child for the entire lesson. Another problem is the fact that each child is studying a different topic in history, and science. This really adds to the length of the day. Most multi-child families teach the same topic in history/science to all children and assign tasks according to the ability of the child.
Hopefully, I can work all this out. The curriculum seems sound and the price is certainly right.
The following video cheered me up. At least my day wasn't this bad...........
