Ds is going to be starting 9th grade in the Fall. Dh sent me an email with the fact that NJ is offering a free virtual academy. I explained why I feel it is not a good fit for us. He comes out with he feels it is important that ds gets some cookie cutter class experience to prepare him for the reality of college. I explain that ds will be doing foreign language online next year. Dh feels he should do one other class this way.
I don't disagree that outsourcing something else would be a good idea but I don't know what to outsource. So far, I am comfortable teaching science, and english, and math. So I am taking it to the hive for suggestions on online classes appropriate for a 9th grader who is bright but an average student.
