Nope…there is no mention about birth control. And they railed on the media for not informing kids that abstinence is the 100% effective way to prevent STDs. It also mentioned teen sexuality and how the emotional aftereffects are often difficult to deal with…i.e.guilt.
This is a charter school in PA. Whew! DH and I were thrilled! PM me if you would like to know the name.

It’s a cyber school in my county in PA. Please PM me if you would like the name. Honestly, when my husband got the textbook, it was the first section he turned to.Which cyber school is promoting such a new idea?

Am I feeling overly hopeful? I will just remember to hit the adoration chapel even more!

What is cyber school and for what ages? I teach my children abstinence. Not everyone shares this teaching even though there are many Catholics and Christians here. Very disappointing.

Cyber school means my son learns at home, but the curriculum is provided and watched on a computer. There are live classes where the teachers actually teach the lesson, and there are assignments that need to be completed in order to ensure the student is keeping up with the class. He cal work ahead on particular subjects, or he can do a little bit of each subject every day. The main goal is that he completes assignments timely, receives feedback, and ensures he corrects the feedback in order to achieve a better grade.
I like it because I know his assignments and get timely feedback. There are no classroom disruptions, teasing or bullying. The downside is socialization. However, no socialization at this point in time is better than the negative socialization he experienced last year.
Cyber school starts in first grade in our state and continues through high school graduation.

This sounds like a nice halfway point between full-on home-schooling, and a “conventional” classroom. It also would seem to work even for families that can’t afford to have one parent stay home full-time to be the teacher, which has struck me as one problem with “traditional” home-schooling, it assumes such a parent, usually the mother, is available. But many mothers who would prefer to stay home can’t for financial reasons.
Indeed, there are actually many “on-line colleges” that use this format, as well as “brick and mortar” colleges that have taken some material on-line.

It really is a nice in-between. I could never home school because I could never develop a curriculum. However, it keeps him out of bullying situations, which he desperately needed.
When he received his autism diagnosis, my working fate was pretty much sealed. However, I put my husband through grad school, we lived frugally (still do) and we don’t miss what we don’t have. I would be lying if we I didn’t say that my DH has a very good job. But, we live quite boring lives.
I still have my little tax business that keeps my mind active. We really are truly blessed.
