This is a rather unique, tuition-free, ACCREDITED, online high school program available via Giant Campus of Washington. Perhaps this is the next step for online homeschooling?
Picture the future. ..A student walks into your class or access the class online and they get a few point just for showing up on time. There is a pop quiz on the homework assignment from last class, the student aces the quiz, they get a 500 point.
