Part I: Free Folly: Five Reasons Why Black Families Should Resist Free Virtual Charter Schools
Virtual charter schools are popping up all over the country, providing free computers, textbooks and educational materials to any family who would like to enroll in their program. While this may sound great now, I take a hard look at how these schools are detrimental to black homeschoolers.

Part V: Virtual Racism
In the national debate about online charters, many homeschoolers cite several reasons why they disagree with blurring the lines between traditonal home schooling and public e-schooling. While many of these issues are relevant to black homeschoolers, there are an entirely separate set of issues that face black families alone. This article speaks to the potential racism factor in online charters.

Part IV: Supply Strain: Why Virtual Charters Cannot Ensure Equal Resource Distribution
Virtual charter schools promise the world to home schooling families: free computers and software, textbooks, maps, manipulatives and more. What happens, though, when these virtual schools recognize where their supplies are going? Will these schools send equal resources to black homeschoolers in a lower socioeconomic neighboorhood as a white homeschooled student in a gated community? In "Supply Strain" I tackle this issue as the third reason why black families should staunchly resist virtual charter schools.

Part II: Home Schooling Without Strings
Black families who home school educate at home for one primary reason: To give their children a chance for a brighter future. Home schooling is one of the greatest avenues for providing a stellar education for black children. But, can this continue if black families fall for virtual charters?
