Switching schools...

My oldest son has been with the same cyber charter school for 5 years. Until this year we have been really happy with the school. We have been able to work at our own pace and set our own schedule. This year the school decided to implement a number of changes which push us very close to the feel of a traditional public school. Children are required to have daily classes with teachers in various courses. My children perform above grade level on test mandated tests which makes this move questionable for us. It will essentially slow down my children's progress because they will be held to the pace set by the school for those classes. We are going to start researching other options because 75% of the reason we chose to home school was so that we could work ahead as much as we wanted or needed to.
