Yes we are in California. We live in San Francisco. I have only been able to find one charter in my area "Fame". I really like "Ocean Grove" which lets you choose your own curriculum and gives you money, but it only goes as far as San Mateo County. So besides Fame, K12 is really my only option besides doing it on my own.

Hi, I usually just lurk, but had a few questions. When it is that time of year to choose what the kids are going to use for curriculum, does your DH have input or do you choose everything? Did you have to convince DH to homeschool, was he all for it, or did he not care either way? I brought up the idea of homeschooling a few months back, and my DH was 100% on board with it. He loves the idea. Now it comes down to deciding on curriculum. I already know what I will be using this year for pre-k and DH says whatever I want because "I know best, lol". Anyways for kindergarten (2011-2012) we have the option of using CAVA which uses K12 or filing a private school affidavit. I am so torn. He would really like the boys to enroll in CAVA because it is accredited, they tell you exactly what you need to do everyday, and the biggest perk for him it is completely FREE. He is lind of cheap when it comes to spending money, lol. In the end he says it is up to me and he will support me 100%. I have nothing against using a virtual academy accept with having to do attendance daily, reporting to a teacher, and not being able to combine lessons when all three boys are in school (they are two years ahead). But I really think I would like the freedom to do it on my own, but then I worry what if I fail. It is kind of nice when you are given everything and know what to do to make sure you are not behind. I know I am rambling, sorry. I was thinking of maybe just doing it on my own and then enrolling them in CAVA (if it is still available) for highschool for the accreditation I know it is such a long ways off, but I am always thinking ahead. What do you think? Any advice or suggestions? Do you ever worry that you will fail at homeschooling? I know you hear homeschool kids getting into great colleges, but do you ever worry that you will do something wrong and your kids won't be able to get into college? ( I know this sounds ridiculous) If you had the choice of a free k12 virtual academy would you use it or homeschool on your own? Do you think it is possible to do k12 with three children, or do you think it would be way too much work that is not needed?
