[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a private option available that FCPS accepts, and it is all asynchronous and easy online. It does not involve exercise. [/quote]

Say more please?  Or name/link?[/quote]

It's through Virtual Virginia. DD did it last summer prior to 10th grade, and it's MUCH easier than the FCPS version in terms of the actual exercise requirement. However, it doesn't include driver education like the FCPS class so that has to be done separately. On the other hand, DS (I have b/g twins) wanted to do the FCPS class to get the drivers ed done, and he actually liked the incentive to exercise an hour per day. But, it was a lot of work, especially because he did it last summer at the same time as the Personal Econ class (which isn't hard at all but just needs some dedicated time) as well as summer theater at school.

The summer before last, they both did the FCPS class. It was a lot, but it was also a VERY hot summer, and their instructor excused the class from a lot of the workouts b/c kids couldn't workout outside, which made it easier.

My kids did the class to fit in other electives, including theater and digital art, alongside their AP classes.[/quote]

virtual virginia definitely has a physical activity requirement[/quote]

I'm pp. Yes, VV has a requirement but you can just walk and/or do lighter exercise and for a shorter amount of time. FCPS requires an hour per day, with most of it at a high heart rate.

Someone else can just wear the watch though like a parent or sibling.[/quote]

Yes, they can; however, if you are a decent parent, you will make your kid to the exercise (or maybe do the exercise alongside your kid).[/quote]
