....I may have failed to make my point. My point was an online
homeschool program is probably illegal in NY because the parent is not
doing the instruction.

In NY you can pay for private tutors if you want to, but the
parent/guardians have to provide a certain percentage of the
instruction (I want to say >50%). They don't want some scheister to
start a private school and pretend they're "homeschooling" to avoid
oversight on the school. You have to submit an instruction plan to a
bureaucrat who approves it (or tells you what to fix). You then have
to submit quarterly reports on the kids' progress on the instruction
plan. There are minimum standards your plan has to meet, like so many
hours of PE and so many hours of American History, etc etc. The way
they catch people paying someone else to teach the home-school kids is
when they're dumb enough to submit the exact same instruction plan for
multiple, unrelated kids. So if you have to cheat this, at least make
sure your accomplice is smart.
I know in PA they have less reporting than in NY, but they do home
visits and want to see copies of school work the kids have done. I've
heard that in TX there's very little oversight. I've heard you just
tell them you're homeschooling and they leave you alone, but I don't
know if that's fact or just crap people say.
....but literally every state does this differently. You'll have to
get with someone who's familiar with how it works in Illinois.

I have an incoming Junior and an incoming 8th grader Id prefer not to
send back to Illinois brick and mortar for at least the upcoming year
with all the covid games and politicking going on. The schools we
deal with have obvious union pressure to have ensured the remote
curriculum failed, dont want to play that game again the coming year.
Have any of you personally dealt with or had customers relay any good
solutions? Im looking for instructor led homeschool as educating
without beatings isnt something im really capable of.
there is a BYU curriculum I looked at but that gets some hefty
pricing and i couldn't ascertain whether its acceptable in Illinois
