The layout is terrible and the website was horribly designed. Assignments and lessons are spread out bizzarely, logging in is a hassle, the assignments are not built around being online (they insist you upload assignments separately rather than have it directly feed in through the lessons), and the third-party lessons are awkwardly integrated. Why do I need to do a journal to show that I'm learning driver's ed if I'm already taking tests from the course at every stage which are graded? Because more busy work looks better. The website is clunky, the tutorials for using it are outdated and no longer apply, instructions for use everywhere contradict themselves (copy answers in student comments on the submit page, everywhere else says to type it separately and upload it), and from every single person I've met who's used this, none of them learned anything, even the people who liked it. My friend took Latin 1 and 2 on flvs, and he wasn't able to write the kinds of sentences we did our first week in Latin 1 in school. The teachers are naturally mixed bag, but between a frustrating layout, poor directions, clumsy and unnecessary restrictions, and the fact that the whole thing is a mess of confusion, is damning enough without the failure to teach after all of it.
