Joshua,

My point was that a church could offer to oversee/augment the 'cyber- 
schooling' of a number of parishoner's children without having to  
comply with various star/federal laws or mandates... Sort of a low-doc  
approach to creating their own school.

The benefits would include the state providing the curricullum &  
required technology, the church providing supervision and group  
activities as well as religious education at minimal costs.

I think this could florish in certain communities, esp where the  
public school is not meeting the needs of the community...
