I agree this is a good idea. This year I chose to put 2 of my children in a cyber school. we wonīt be returning next year. I still think itīs a good idea, it just didnīt work for us. we had too many technology issue. A product they use to submit work called blackboard was constantly broken or unaccessible, and work was frequently lost. My oldest didnīt like they open book nature of everything, she felt she wasnīt really learning. this said, there are of course some positives. The school we chose had virtual, live classes for each subject. It also helped ease the burden on me for a job that at the time seemed overwhelming.
Best of luck
