This source is really negative about K12. Not saying it is totally unjustified but I wish I had a less biased source:

I am somewhat neutral on the subject of a virtual school option. Part of me is always glad for another option for parents but part of me knows that this masquerades as homeschooling when it really is not. It can meet some families needs but others will think they have tried "homeschooling" without any of its real freedom and flexibility.
