[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it worth unenrolling your kids? If you unenroll, don’t you have to submit a homeschool learning plan? Why do you need a pod for 4th grade? Most school districts have a full planned day online for older kids. Why would you do this? So your kids can play??? I’m thinking this is more of an option for PreK kids. I wouldn’t want to pay for a pod for 4th grade? What about standardized testing? That’s a huge burden to put on 1 teacher. But it seems like $50 per hour is the going rate.  I’m thinking though you would have to find a teacher that is leaving the field or retiring. Because who else would do it, maybe a new teacher with no experience.[/quote]

Not PP but if they are homeschooling there are not Standardized Tests requirements.  Depending on their location they simply submit the paperwork which may require a lesson plan or curriculum outline for the year that is about it.   
I do think it is crappy if they are not committed to doing this for the whole year if they are in public school. If they go back mis year the school will have lost funding for those kids that are not enrolled but still be forced to take them back. If they were in private before then whatever. 
It certainly seem like way too much money and unnecessary for an average ability 4th grader but whatever.[/quote]
