I think an online-only program can be good for some kids, especially those with medical issues that make it difficult for them to attend school. But it's also ripe for misuse, and would require a lot of oversight. Plus, you have to make sure your kid gets a chance to socialize with other kids.

Another city, but my niece did online school for half a semester.

Was being seriously bullied and the school was unable/unwilling to help address. Psychologist strongly advised getting the child out of that environment.

Child did online school to finish year, and returned to a new school the following year. Was a godsend.

It sounds like it's a homeschool program. A friend tried it with their kid who had medical issues and missed a lot of school. It wasn't just go on the computer, the parent had to actually do a lot of work to support learning. They ended up enrolling in a traditional school.

If you want to homeschool there are already programs for that and school districts have hospital programs, that is not what this is about …. scam!
