I hate this so much. My teacher would never pick up her phone, even though I would call during her hours. I tried doing a lesson and an assessment but it wouldn't submit because she never had me "officially" started (because she didn't answer her phone). Recently "withdrew" me from the course because she's "Leaving". This is Virtual School... you can work from where ever the hell you are... so honestly I don't really understand why she wouldn't bother to close her current class and just finish up with everyone who has already been signed up. Because, now it looks like I dropped the class because I failed. But I didn't fail... I wasn't even given the option to fail...
I am only taking this course because I have a requirement to take an online course to graduate. The amount of money saved in not having to hire real teachers to teach real classes could never be worth the lack of personal attention. The teachers don't really know anything about any of their students other than their name grade and school. They really don't care either.
Also the overall concept of using a computer to take a class is horrible. The idea of real people answering our questions verbally, and actually teaching us things is something you don't notice the importance of until you are forced to try to learn without those resources.
Too add on, the website looks like it was designed by a middle schooler. It doesn't really matter how many pictures of happy kids you put up on the welcome screen, virtual school really doesn't make happy kids. Taking this online course, in fact, makes me feel like someone who isn't smart enough to take courses in person.
I will stop my rant here because I know that no matter how much I type, nothing will really change.
Thanks Rick Scott.
