It all depends on what you take. If you take elective credits, GREAT they are better than sticking in a class for half a year for something that doesn't really matter. You MUST like writing, a lot of questions are written responses that take a long time. Teachers vary, I like the happy ones, usually they leave you alone unless your behind a week or two. I have gotten a few passive aggressive remarks, but I do like to keep in mind I'm sure these teachers have bigger problems than you at the moment. I recommend it, though, be careful what you take.
EDIT: Five Months Later Update. To fill you in at full depth you start off with a login process which is tedious, but then you finally get in your courses "dashboard." Anyways, there are countless hour consuming assignments you can spend hours on, BUT there are always great alternatives to them. Instead of completing an entire lab form by yourself, you can complete the lab with an entire collective team of students and get it done in a nice hour and a half. Except, instead of watching all these pointless Khan Academy videos that usually confuse you, you have a teacher right there with you to answer questions. Although live lessons are at the worst times possible 3pm, 7pm, etc, they can save you so much work and help you learn. Its like being at a dinner table with your teacher. Everything is laid out in front of you and you can interrupt, ask questions, or make a soft hearted joke whenever you please. Its a pleasant way to be social in a classroom without actually talking. The chatroom to text the teacher is pure genius. She can get to your question without you having to raise your hand like a fool. Overall, there are definitely some courses you should prepare your typing fingers for, especially English, but I highly recommend math and science if you USE the resources. Otherwise you are going to fall behind and hate FLVS. Just plan your courses accordingly and make sure your not biting off more than you can chew. :)
