I am the mother of a 4th grader. We did the FLVS last year, and we both liked it. This year I find myself frustrated and confused with half of the assignments. The teachers are great and technical support has been fine, which is why I gave 3 stars, but the way the content is delivered makes me want to tear my hair out it is so confusing. For example, my son has to write 2 papers. The assignment outline clearly states that it wants to know how two random characters from the previous lesson behaved. The characters that the paper named were nowhere in the current lesson or the previous lesson. After reviewing the two lessons for over an hour, we finally determined which two stories we were supposed to compare (the two characters mentioned in the assignment outline where nowhere in the stories). That was time that could have been spent writing and learning. But this keeps happening and is why I will probably disenroll my son next year. He is getting good grades, but the level of stress and confusion is just not worth it. There are a lot of things I like about FLVS, and last year the flexibility was great. This year, however, they are just asking for too much and are not delivering quality learning material. Big disappointment. I will be sure to complete their surveys as well as this review. I just hope they are taking these complaints seriously.
