The NJ bill would make it similar to the state where I live w/ hte exception of no annual interviews w/ DC, and no participation in extracurriculars. We have to have curriculum approved by the Principal of the school DC would have attended. My particular district is known for rejecting HSing proposals asking for more detail...they in fact require more info than is required by the state. Lucky me. I don't think the extracurriculars are a good trade off unless you're in an area as I am where there aren't many HSers so there aren't many programs that occur duing the day. We have no art classes, TKD, music, museums close by, etc open during school hours. For me, having access to extracurriculars at school would be wonderful. The few art classes are very expensive over $350 for a 8 week session, one session per week for pottery for example.
