This is the best program for home school children. I have looked at them all. This is the only on-line school with highly skilled educators, felxible work schedule, and professional, caring staff. This program makes it so my daughter can attend high school taught by real teachers.

We are planning to move to New Mexico and being able to continue her education with this program is paramont to her continued success.

I need to homeschool them and even have doctor's orders to that effect. Typical homeschool curriculums are very costly and it would be extremely useful to have public education available in a home setting.

]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 02:09:11 UTC 2354264 Mr Jeffrey Pauley [Signature #40] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2319489?utm_medium=rss I believe as do many other states, that there are a great many needs fullfilled and potential to various youths and parents alike to become ever more active in the educational needs of our children. The motivational need varies with student and parents. It should be foremost in our thinking.

]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:38:36 UTC 2319489 Mrs Misty Eavenson [Signature #39] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2308744?utm_medium=rss I am excited to think that Connections Academy might soon be available in New Mexico. Our oldest son is homeschooled right now do to health problems. Our other two children attend public school. It would be great to have this option available for all three of them. A relative in Colorado uses for her two children it and loves it.

]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:30:09 UTC 2296647 Ms. Anonymous [Signature #35] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2296308?utm_medium=rss Please please consider this alternative form of educating our students. There is a huge need for this in NM! Personally, I cannot afford a private school system and my son is not thriving in the public traditional sense of school. He is ready and willing to get educated at home, rather than just drop out all together!

]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2007 03:22:16 UTC 2296308 Ms. Katherine Bryant [Signature #34] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2279732?utm_medium=rss I am a New Mexico parent of three. I believe that having an option like a virtual charter school would enrich the lives and education of not only my family but many in my community who share my concerns & values. I have a 12 yr old who homeschools and a 6 & 9 year old who attend public school.

]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2007 03:49:06 UTC 2279732 Ms. Mary H. Ehlers [Signature #33] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2278799?utm_medium=rss To Whom It May Concern:

I sincerely believe that having a virtual school in New Mexico would be a good thing. There are many students for whatever reason are unable to attend a regular school setting, my son being in that category. He is now taking computer classes and is enjoying them immensely. Having an local connection would be so much better and less restrictive.

]]> Sun, 19 Aug 2007 10:04:21 UTC 2278799 MS JULIET CASADOS [Signature #32] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2277493?utm_medium=rss THE MANY CHILDREN THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED. PLEASE LET THIS BE THE BEGINNING. THERE ARE MANY WITH DIFFERENT NEEDS AND ONE SCHOOL SYSTEM CANNOT POSSIBLY FULFILL THIS.

]]> Sat, 18 Aug 2007 11:06:17 UTC 2277493 MRS. Dena Smith [Signature #31] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2272177?utm_medium=rss I have two choldren with high functioning autism. The schools are not always able to meet their academic needs and I find myself homeschooling. It would be greatly appreciated if this service were available as it already is in other states.

]]> Sat, 18 Aug 2007 04:45:19 UTC 2272177 Mr. Lawrence Casados [Signature #30] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2271676?utm_medium=rss There are many students that need this!

]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 10:53:27 UTC 2271676 Ms Viola Silva [Signature #29] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2271047?utm_medium=rss I have a nephew who would benefit from virtual public schooling. I believe that vitual public schooling would benefit my nephew who has some learning disability and needs to be taught on a one to one basis. Having a new charter funded by the state would benefit Adam.

]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 05:47:34 UTC 2271047 ms Tara Candelaria [Signature #28] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2269895?utm_medium=rss I stongly believe that the virtually tour teaching will bennifit many students. It is an opportunity for children to focus on studies rather than feeling "different" in school. The focus should be learning not being picked on because you are different. Also having the opportunity to learn at ones level, not several different levels in one class with one teacher. This will provide our future Adults with a higher education therefore be more acceptable in the community.

]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 11:19:20 UTC 2269895 Mrs. Amy Mahoney [Signature #27] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2267818?utm_medium=rss this sounds like a great option for students and parents who would like to home school but want a teacher to oversee the process.

]]> Thu, 16 Aug 2007 09:47:34 UTC 2267818 Ms Pennie McCameron [Signature #26] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2263616?utm_medium=rss Thank you for your attention to this matter. This is the first home-school year for my daughter. She is 16yrs. old.

She wants her HS Diploma, but the overcrowded school and classes have made it difficult for her to concentrate as the teachers spend their day with discipline issues.

Her GPA dropped from 4.0 to 1.5 and back up to 3.125 at the end of her Sophomore year. She is brilliant and wants to attend college.

This is our best option.

Warm regards,

Pennie McCameron

I want more challenge and depth for my kids and I believe the Connnections Academy will fulfill this desire. This program provides all the necessary curriculum, skilled teachers and resources to develop a strong educated child with flexibility to meet the diverse needs of all the children in our state. Please grant the opening of the Connections Academy virtual public charter school in our state of New Mexico

Students will learn from accredited curriculum, while learning non-tangible skils like time mangement and self-discipline. I teach online at the university level for two universities, and I'm a strong believer in the efficacy of online learning opportunities.

Especially those with special needs or circumstances ( illness, rual area, military, childern that struggle in regular class room setting.
I feel this program can truely help familes of all sorts to draw them closer and have parents more involved and responsible for there own childern.
Please bring Connections Acamdey to NM
Thank You

I feel that New Mexico Connections Academy would offer families quality educational programs that would exceed state standards. I have three children and feel that this program would be an asset to the educational system in our state.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 03:51:00 UTC 2254264 Mr Victor Safar [Signature #18] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2254029?utm_medium=rss This will provide to students that are homeschooled a way to excell in their studies and get a high school diploma, I think it is an excellent idea and hope it is passed, if not parents will be forced to do virtual schooling anyway and just pay out of state fees.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 02:35:37 UTC 2254029 Mrs Laura Safar [Signature #17] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2254015?utm_medium=rss I would like to see this pass so all children can have acess to a virtual school, and do schooling at home.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 02:30:54 UTC 2254015 Ms. Barbara Kim [Signature #16] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253848?utm_medium=rss I am in a parent or community member who is interested in giving all New Mexico school children access to quality public schools. I have personal reasons and special circumstances -- my oldest daughter has epilepsy and her health prevents her from attending public school, and the home-bound program has been inadequate. A free virtural school would allow my child a free, appropriate public education. Also, it would allow more access to many other disabled children. Thank you for listening.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 01:32:03 UTC 2253848 Mrs Merry Brun [Signature #15] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253828?utm_medium=rss I strongly believe that parents need to take a more active involvement in their children's education, becoming their life coach, rather than relying more and more on school educators to shape their children. It is simply too burdensome on school educators to fully dedicate their limited resources to give each child the one on one attention he/she might need. Having this virtual charter school will help to alleviate this overcrowding and lack of resources that teachers have to contend with.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 01:25:08 UTC 2253828 mrs melissa apodaca [Signature #14] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253824?utm_medium=rss My daughter is on a waiting list to get into a charter school and a virtual charter school is exactly what we need so she does not fall behind in her studies. There is no telling how long we will be waiting for her to attend the school so meanwhile I'm going to try my best to keep her on the up and up. This virtual school is what our community needs as there are many other parents on the waiting list as well who I know would utilize this necessary tool.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 01:23:20 UTC 2253824 Mr Don Bridges [Signature #13] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253432?utm_medium=rss A charter school like Connections Academy will offer our children advantages not gained in the local school classroom. Our children will receive one-on-one instruction that is highly individualized to their needs and development. Our children will be challenged to reach their highest potential - our gifted learners will be able to excel in ways not currently afforded them. Please endorse the NM Connections Academy and provide our children this unique opportunity.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:24:21 UTC 2253432 Mr. Tony Darling [Signature #12] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253417?utm_medium=rss As a high school social worker, I see the need for a variety of options needed to suit the educational needs of a different students. A Connections Academy would provide New Mexico students with an option not currently open to them and may allow for more students to continue their education when the public school is no longer a viable option. This is especially true in rural areas, where charter schools are not available. I strongly support a New Mexico Connections Academy.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:19:17 UTC 2253417 Mrs. Rhonda Darling [Signature #11] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253392?utm_medium=rss We need an alternative to the public schools, especially in the rural areas (such as Lea County) where there are no charter schools. I am very familiar with K12, who utilizes a rigorous curriculum that easily compares or exceeds that which is offered in many public schools. Many other states have successfully implemented the K12 Connections Academy, and New Mexico should consider doing so also.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:14:48 UTC 2253392 Mrs. Bonnie Phillips [Signature #10] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253341?utm_medium=rss My 12 year old son was born with Down Syndrome,and we have had him in public school,and also private school.At this time I am homeschooling him with the help of my local school district,but I feel like we are greatly in need of all the help and aid that we can get here in Nm for the education of our special needs children.I have an 18 year old daughter that quit school back in March,and is attending NM Jr. College to get her GED,but we need help!!!!!!

I strongly support this school as an option for parents mainly those who prefer homeschool

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 10:35:17 UTC 2253237 Mrs Michelle Anthony [Signature #8] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253142?utm_medium=rss A virtual Charter School would bring up the integrity of public schooling in NM substantially. A wonderful alternative to homeschooling that would keep the parents more closely involved in their child's education, and a great opportunity for the kids who would like to finish high school, but for whatever reason have either chosen to drop out and work or not attend class on a regular basis. With this type of school, they could actually get a high school diploma from the saftey of home.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 10:12:22 UTC 2253142 Mrs. Bertha Valerio [Signature #7] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2253103?utm_medium=rss To whom it may concern:
I am in support of having the option for a virtual public school in New Mexico. This will allow parents who find themselves having to seek other alternatives for their children with different circumstances whether it is due to a childs illness or lack of a childs progress that he or she may not be receiving in a public school setting. I have been in a situation where a VPS would have been a great alternative apposed to homeschooling.

I really feel my son will benefit immensely ! My son has been in special education since first grade .He is now 16 . I know with this program , he will recieve the confidence and the self esteem he is lacking. Please give New Mexico's children the opportunity of a lifetime!

She doesn't sleep at night and has a hard time making it to school in the morning. New Mexico connections would be a wonderful alternative for her.

]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 09:22:14 UTC 2252932 Mrs. Karen Salas [Signature #3] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2252914?utm_medium=rss It is important for New Mexico to increase the opportunities for NM children to further their education. New Mexico should do this by any means possible, especially through the increased utilization of the Internet (under controlled circumstances of course) and through the utilization of qualified learning coaches as demonstrated by the Connections Academy. New Mexico has been in need of educational change for a long time as indicated by poor test scores so allow parents access to Connections.
