[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you all aware there are already public online schools in many states?  In Virginia it's Virginia Virtual Academy and in DC it's Friendship Online Academy.  I'm not sure about Maryland; there is a Maryland Virtual Academy, but I am not sure it is a free online charter school.  These options are already out there for parents who want long-term DL without individual schools or school districts reinventing the wheel.  You are just not connected to your local school.

It's not just because of COVID - many athletes in sports like figure skating need a lot of schedule flexibility during the day and do these programs.  Some kids are badly bullied at their local schools or learn better without classroom distractions.  My kids are in Virginia Virtual Academy and will probably remain there for next year.  [/quote]

Yep, this, and there is no need to stay connected to your local school if you are never going to enter the classroom. You could have a teacher from Alaska and it wouldn’t matter.
