Has anyone else heard of the government funded home school program that has just started this year? If so what are the pro's and con's you see for this particular program?

My niece in Pennsylvania does this, here is the link to her school - http://www.palcs.org/ As for cons, the only one I know if is that she has limited interactions with other children, but they make up for that in extra curriculars and clubs. I think one of the definite pros is that she is not being 'taught to a test' and is encouraged to go above and beyond the learning done in the class.

ya if these kids are not VERY active in after school sports and activities they will be socially awkward their whole life.
