Anyone who has taken homeschooling through virtual school, in florida?

Question

o.k do you know if you can take a whole school year online in florida, by homeschool. my son wants to stay home and do school in Florida Virtual School, but i don't know if he could do that, i called his school councelor and she said no that i couldn't, but i called florida virtual school, and they said that i could , but that i first needed to withdraw from school and sign up as a homeschooler, but am confuse, can some one give me information, or experiecne they have pass through.

Answer 1

I live in Florida and when I started homeschooling my mother and I explored this same option. Your councilor will of course tell you you can't because they want to keep you in school for at least part of the day, but if you withdraw your child from school and register him as a homeschooler, then yes, he can take as many classes as he wants on FLVS and basically do all his schooling that way. It is legal, it is legitimate, it is actually very common among the other teens in my homeschool group.

Answer 2

my brother did that with school, and it sucked. he hated it.
