(I KNOW IT'S A LOT BUT BEAR WITH ME! THIS IS SO IM...

(I KNOW IT'S A LOT BUT BEAR WITH ME! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!!) I'm a current student at FLVS. (I'm in 10th grade and I'm 15.) I've done FLVS in the past before to make up 6th grade math. It was extremely hard but I managed to pass it. I never wanted to actually be in FLVS for actual classes, because I saw a review where a girl's friend killed herself from the stress of FLVS, but here I am taking classes. My mom signed me up for 5 classes and it took her a while to sign me up because of how long it takes to sign up. They kept denying her request and I started school late, so now I'm behind. But, I'm slowly catching up. I already finished one of my classes. Now, the main reason why I'm on here writing a review because of one of my teachers. I'll write his name so you can keep a eye out for him, (if you happen to have him to or get him too). His name is Mr. Lavigne. He was cool and extremely nice at first when I got put into his class but mid way in that's when things started to go bad. Before I explain my problems, YES I DO KNOW THAT HE HAS OTHER STUDENTS AND WORK TO GRADE, NO NEED TO TELL ME THAT. Anyways, it takes him A VERY LONG TIME to respond back to me. I have the screenshots and everything. Like last year, I needed to do a DBA and I contacted him before break. I contacted him on Dec 15 and it took him till Jan 10 to contact me back. Like I could have already been in Segment Two of English 2, (that's what I have him for.) but he keeps stalling and it's like he wants to keep me in his class and not go on to Segment 2. Right now, I have 4 assignments left for Segment 1 and I could easily do those but he has locked 2 of my assignments. On both of the assignments, he told me, 'When would be a good time to talk over the phone about this assignment?' I contacted him on Monday at 10 am and now it's Wednesday and he still hasn't replied yet. I really don't want him to take till next week to contact me back because I can't be in this class any longer, it's taking to much of time. This should NOT be happening. If you ever get Mr. Lavigne SWITCH TEACHERS ASAP. He'll be nice and stuff when ya'll first meet but midway in, you'll be stuck. Oh and by the way, I have a question for FLVS. Are teachers supposed to ask for your address? Because Mr. Lavigne did, he was REALLY persistent about it. When we did the welcome call or one of the DBA's, he kept asking me. (I move a lot so I didn't know my exact address.) I kept telling him I didn't know because I move a lot and he kept repeating his question. When I kept giving him the same answer, he got frustrated and asked to speak to my mom. I gave my mom the phone and I could literally hear him asking for our address. I was EXTREMELY creeped out. The thing that had me worried was that my other teachers NEVER asked for my address. Then I thought maybe it's only the English teachers that have to ask for the student's address. BUT THEN, I REALIZED. I had a English 2 teacher before him. (I got kicked out of her class for unknown reasons) She NEVER asked for my address. Not on the welcome call, NEVER! I was SO creeped out cause my mom end up giving him it. (She thought it was for school purposes). But I end up moving from the address that my mom gave him. Oh and btw the thing situation with the address happened last year. Sometime during the first few weeks of starting English 2. He hasn't asked for it since. That's all.

Edit: I've talked with the lead teacher and she was so nice to me about it. She even answered all my questions, including the one about the teacher asking for your address. Yes, they're supposed to. I forgot the reason why, but when she told me, it made sense. The two assignments he locked, got unlocked and I had to do them over again without getting a graded because he claimed I cheated on it even though I didn't. Anyways, I've completed his class for Segment 1 and I'm soon to be switched out the class into a new one! Thanks for reading!
