When deciding to home school our children for a year or two whilst living in Colorado - we considered paying some of these registered "setup-your-own-curriculum private home school service providers". When discussing on the phone with them - not one was ever able to give me a meaningful answer to "do your service actually provides anything that I could not do myself for free in a few minutes?"

I’m not sure what value they provide today but my prediction is that with continued momentum from teachers unions shutting down alternate education options, such services will provide legitimacy or certification to meet state imposed requirements in name only, so that parents retain freedoms to educate their own children as they see fit with the service providing a shield against the state.
