CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
anyone here use the Virtual Academy?

I considered it when we first started homeschooling but, DH and I decided that we could not in good conscience accept their rules. The big deal breaker for us was that we would have had to sign an agreement that during the hours of 7:30 - 3:30 M - F we would NOT give our children religious instruction. DH and I just could not sign that and if we didn't we couldn't get their program because it is essentially Public School At Home, and that wasn't what we wanted for our Children.
If there are any other questions I can help you with feel free to PM me, I live in AZ as well and have gotten quite used to navigating their laws and such.

OK it's a virtual public charter school but ppl can purchase Christian materials separetely if they want to and kids can have "school" at a schedule set by them and their kids.

Yes, that is true, but once you get to the actual enrollment and read the enrollment contract/agreement it has a clause for religious education and it can not take place from 7:30 - 3:30. I was literally at the point where I was ready to sign the contract when I read the fine print. And both of the Virtual Schools were the same, I tried AZ Virtual Academy and Connections Academy and they both have the same clause.
Honestly though it's about what you as a family can live with, if you feel it's ok then go for it, that's the beauty of homeschooling, you do what you feel is best for your family. For us that was one thing we just couldn't live with.
