In todays Advertiser the following caught my attention that may lead to implications here in Hawaii.
Hawaii has the Myron B. Thompson Virtual school as well as an "E Academy" and many Home schoolers.
A federal appeals court, in the first ruling of its kind in the U.S., has ordered the state of Wisconsin to stop funding a "virtual academy" that allowed children to learn from home.....Virtual schools operate in Hawai'i and 17 other states.......Do virtual schools amount to little more than homeschooling at taxpayer expense?
If a Federal Court ruled this way... then Hawaii's Homeschool kids may be in trouble!
