Robbi Review of FLVS
Alright I'm going to be 100% honest. I don't usual...
Alright I'm going to be 100% honest. I don't usually write reviews but looking I was scrolling through the reviews of the school and a lot of them bothered me. Do I like FLVS? Ya, I do. I've been in public school my whole life, and then I was having some issues my freshman year, and my parents thought it would be a good idea to just take a breather from high school.
FLVS allowed me to do some pretty incredible things. I traveled to Paraguay, Panama, Costa Rica, Toronto, and Vancouver Island. I also spoke to teenage girls publicly about bullying, so it's pretty cool that I was able to do such amazing things because of my flexibility. I love the Live Lessons, they are honestly the most helpful. I stopped reading the lessons and just watched the live lessons because my mind would wander reading 12 pages of information. Some of my teachers responded quickly, and some of my teachers didn't. I didn't mind that though, they would always reply in max time 2 hours. One thing that I absolutely hated about FLVS was the DBA's. I would always stop doing my work because I knew a DBA was coming up and it gave me so much anxiety that I couldn't even be on the course without having a breakdown. I felt like most of the time I was learning solely so I could get a good grade on the DBA and not learning for myself. At the beginning of the year I was told a DBA is more like a conversation, and less like a test. The further the year got, the more "test like" it became. My teachers began to grow impatient if I didn't have the correct answer, which made me feel small, and stupid. My mom emailed FLVS to try to ask if there were any alternatives to completing the calls and they said no. Now don't get me wrong, majority of my teachers are very very kinds and very nice on the DBA's but the negative affects more than the positive in those situations I guess. I have recommended FLVS to all of the people who ask. I like how I can finish school early, and I'm not at a desk for 7 hours straight.
