K12 Pros and Cons

Visitor K12 Review: I loved the curriculum. It found it to be very thorough but very intense and laboring. You are required to complete 6 1/2 hours of school a day.

For a homeschool child, that's a lot of work!

When a child goes to public school, a lot of the time is spent going from place to place, subject to subject. I found that my 8 year old was sooo exhausted after the continuous seat work that it was no fun and very stressful.

If you are a person who doesn't mind being tied down for the whole day, this might work for you but I like the freedom homeschool has to offer.
