check into charter school. For example, in state of Wisconsin, through Waukesha, offers free (if registered by a certain date) charter home school, and they give you a laptop to use. Also, Midwest Christian Academy homeschooling with books is affordable at about $700 a year and are good to work with.

I'm a Charter customer. sm
Service has been fine. Make sure you keep their 1-800 number in your phone book because if you need to call them, that is the only way you can reach them. Also, usually they have an automated customer service to begin with before you get an actual person. It will tell you to turn off your computer, unplug your modem and router (if you have a router), wait a minute and plug everything back in and turn your computer back on. If you've already done this, I just keep hitting 0 (the zero button) on the telephone, and then you will get a real person. Once you talk to someone, they are usually able to fix the problem. If they don't, they'll schedule an appointment. However, 9 times out of 10, after I've waited an hour or 2, usually the internet is back up, and then I call them back to cancel the appointment. All in all, I have been very happy with them and have not had any down time in a long time (knock on wood).
I like my charter.net and my phone sm
service too. As far as customer service, I think they are kind of hateful but they are no worse than AT&T. Everytime I called AT&T I got somebody in India. At least, so far, everyone at charter has been American! To me thats worth dealing with some hateful customer reps once in a while.
Is there an option for a charter school in your area?
I personally do not know of that would be better, but the class size from what I hear is smaller.
anyone have Charter internet and phone service? sm
We live in the country and no fast speed internet is available until now. Charter has fast speed internet and telephone (and cable, but we are staying with Dish Network). I'm so excited about this! I've been working at home for 10 years now and never had anything but dial up. I've heard their customer service stinks. Anyone have experience with either service?
Thanks!
well, I think it's more charter or Montessori type schools than private.
