I work with various kinds of schools. I spend much of my time completing evaluations for students in charter schools<\/a>, cyber (online) schools, public schools, and private schools (secular and non-secular). Charter or district schools run cyber schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also private cyber schools, however, I have not worked with students in that sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the evaluation process, I observed my students in their learning environment, interviewed them about their school experiences, and talked with school staff and parents about my students’ academic programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below I will share with you what I learned about what it is like to go to cyber school. <\/p>\n\n\n I work in the state of Pennsylvania, so my experiences have been with Pennsylvania Cyber Schools. However, the information below is likely true for many cyber schools across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to look into cyber schools in your state, you can Contact Us<\/a> and I will be happy to provide you with a list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With homeschooling<\/a>, you create or buy the curriculum<\/a> and implement it yourself. You are responsible for reporting progress to the school district. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a cyber school (run by a district or charter school), everything is free and taken care of for you, just like in a traditional public school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the student enrolls, the cyber school assigns them their teachers, who post the assignments online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They will submit completed assignments online through the school website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/educationandbehavior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-24.png?resize=640%2C427&ssl=1\")
