**Be aware that the comments I am about to make are in no way directed towards FLVS teachers. I have had both positive and negative experiences with individual teachers and I recognize that specific teachers do not reflect FLVS as a whole**

"Work at your own pace"
---------------------------------------
As I'm sure we are all aware, this is probably the most complained about thing when it comes to FLVS. I understand that this facet of FLVS is most likely due to a realistic need for FLVS to institute a minimum mandatory workload for students. HOWEVER if that is in fact the case, DO NOT market yourself with the slogan "Work at your own pace". Not only is that simply not true, but it borders on (if not completely constitutes as) false advertising. Continuing to use this slogan is unprofessional and is merely trying to lure additional students to enroll who haven't heard better from actual FLVS students.

The FLVS Website:
----------------------------------
The FLVS website is unnecessarily slow and tedious to navigate. It takes far too long to constantly switch between pages that shouldn't be separate in the first palace and I spend an inordinate amount of time bumbling my way through tabs to try and find whatever it is I'm looking for. Having to change my password at given intervals is annoying and I have NEVER dealt with another online institution with this policy. There should also be options to disable survey pop ups as I'm sure the majority of us have no interest in answering surveys. I assure you there is PLENTY feedback for you to browse through here on google reviews.

Assignment Instructions:
------------------------------------------
While this varies from class to class as well as assignment to assignment, I have found that many of the instructions given to students on completing assignments are subjective at best and simply cryptic at worst. This is especially prevalent in instructions on how students are expected to complete projects within the course. This is by far the most frustrating aspect of FLVS in my own opinion and I have often spent nearly as much deliberating the meaning of the instructions as I have actually completing the assignment.

Completion requirements:
------------------------------------------
Course credit should be based on having a passing grade at the completion of the class and NOTHING ELSE. Having to submit work for all the assignments in a class is justified, what is NOT is some of the downright arcane smaller requirements that are not even listed anywhere I could find (I found out about them via comments my teachers have made to me). In the FLVS honors classes, there are additional assignments that must be completed by honors students and that is fine. what isn't is that you must get a 60% or higher on ALL honors assignments in order to get honors credit for the class. This practice is not used by ANY educational institutions I have ever heard of that offer honors and even AP classes. This is also nowhere near how things work in a college environment (I am currently duel enrolled). If you have completed ALL assignments for a class and you have a passing grade OVERALL, there is NO reason for a student to be denied credit. Once again I was NEVER made aware of this requirement before or during the course until it became a problem. If i had been aware of this rule BEFORE enrollment, I most likely would have taken the regular version of the class and not the honors one. Speaking of regular classes, if an honors student scores lower than a 60% on even ONE honors assignment and chooses not to go back and resubmit it (which they shouldn't have to), they will not only lose honors credit but they will have to go back and complete ALL non-honors assignments to even get normal credit for the class because the honors assignments they already completed become worthless. This policy is grossly over-punitive and would never be seen in any other educational institution.

As a final note, I have taken multiple classes on FLVS and I will NOT be taking any more, nor will I EVER recommend FLVS.
