The positives: most teachers are very nice, supportive, and help out; can work at different time and evenings and pick up less or more work each day
The negatives: exams do not always coincide with the lessons and are designed to trick you instead of testing knowledge of the subject; the DBAs are poorly embedded to the class, if you finish Module and want to take the final test, cannot really do so until you have a successful DBA with the instructor and obtain a password for the Module exam. It is slowing you down and if you are taking 4 classes, thats about 30 DBAs you have to do in a year. This is really slowing everything down. Then, some teachers ask general concepts but others ask details that were not even that important. There should be less DBAs. Also some assignments are very poorly explained. Then, after you get them back with feedback then you finally understand clearly and have a chance to correct them but that takes a lot of time also. In addition, the worst part is you can never see the correct answers on any assessment! How are you supposed to learn and progress if you dont know what the correct answer is to the questions you have missed? I like online education and the idea of independent reading and learning but there are so many things FLVS can still improve on. Had experience with Connexus and it was so much better. The parent was a coach that has been properly trained on all tools, calendar planning, scheduling etc. Im taking my child out out after this year because of a lot of things I do not like about FLVS. Im sure they are on the right track but still have a long way to go.
