A student registers as a homeschooler in their home district, and then enters the program in this district. Each student must agree to do on-site ancillary services for a minimum of six hours per student per week. As with all shared schooling programs, it is mandatory that parents accompany their children during these hours. The program requires twenty five students utilizing the minimum hours in order to operate. An area equipped with toys and art supplies is set up for toddlers.
Parents are then free to interact between both younger and older children much as they do at home.
This, then, is a summary of the programs run by the districts with whom our C.O.P.E. participants are involved. We hope you have enjoyed it and will use it in your own work. Internet is one of the greatest examples of beating swords into plowshares in the history of the planet. This, of course, is a misnomer.
