I have more questions than answers from this article: What defines success here? Apparently, anyone can be a private school: "A private school is defined in Section 1002.01(2), Florida Statutes, as “an individual, association, co-partnership, or corporation or department, division, or section of such organizations, that designates itself as an educational center that includes kindergarten or a higher grade” and is below the college level." Interesting. delineation of requirements of private schools vs. homeschool: https://lnkd.in/gk9XhvDz I wonder why they felt the need to include this regulation: "Private schools may not exist at either end of a runway of a publicly owned, public-use airport. s. 333.03(3), F.S." In general, private schools, as defined by Florida, and homeschools have access to all public school services but if you decimate public schools and their subsequent funding, won't those services necessarily go away? Lots of questions, especially as the article notes other states are looking at Florida as a roadmap. What's your question here?

Please join Scott Postma next week for the Hope@Home National Virtual Conference for homeschooling families hosted by Jamie Buckland and WV FUE, Families United for Education. Scott will be speaking on How to Leverage Technology and Prepare Your Children for a Life Worth Living. When it comes to technology, the key word here is "leverage." In our modern technological age, parents often struggle to effectively navigate the use of technology in their child's education. On one side, there is the ditch of "huddle and cuddle," viewing technology as a danger to avoid. On the other side of the path, there is the ditch of "acquiescing to the inevitable tyranny" of technology. So where are the boundaries and what are the guidelines? Hint: the answer lies partially in first adopting a proper educational philosophy i.e., education must be accomplished for the right purpose—preparing our children for a life worth living.
