Lynn -

With the deepest respect, it is not my intention to launch a personal attack on you or anyone else, I simply desire to go through your points this weekend, hopefully, and show you point on point where you are incorrect about your charges against K12.

Note: Now we are back to unspecified accusations and the condescending attitude.

I think I also disagree with you as to what constitutes a “true” homeschool. I don't know what state you are in but, I homeschooled in PA for 12 years before enrolling by disabled daughter in PAVCS and I had more government intrusion into my life under the PA homeschool law than I do under PAVCS.

At any rate, I suggest we drop this for now. I will respond to your assertions over the weekend and look forward to having an intelligent, objective dialogue with you.

I do not work for K12 and am in no way affiliated with the business end of the program. I am a parent and a certified teacher who has made the choice to enroll my child in PAVCS. I am a former homeschooler and a former public school teacher. I believe I have a right to make choices regarding my child's education without having to be attacked by people whose fears are totally unwarranted along with their accusations.

Note: Again the accusations having no basis in fact!

Talk to you over the weekend.

Gladys Stefany
