As recently as yesterday, My son logged on to his K12 profile to find that he couldn't complete any of his math assignments. I was very upset to learn, because I wasn't notified by a teacher or any staff member for that matter, that he will only be taught math during class connect sessions. I wouldn't have a problem with this, if the math instructor was actually teaching my child a practical way to do long division and multiplication using three and four digit numbers. Instead they are made to use tape charts, cubes, and the "decay method" which adds like ten extra steps to math problems that could be solved in three! It is now, also mandatory for students to attend class connect sessions that are a complete waste of time. My child learns nothing from these classes. In addition to a pile of classwork, he is assigned homework that doesn't even get checked. I am extremely dissatisfied with the changes made this year. As a parent and learning coach, I feel as though this program is not for independent thinkers/learners. Once this semester has ended, we'll take our chances elsewhere.
