I've been working as a FLVS Full Time student since January and I've found many pros and a few cons in the program.

Pros: I can work from home (which is AMAZING!), I don't have to be awake at any specific time. I sleep in until 8:30-9 every morning whereas in public school I had to get up at 6. The teachers are nicer than at public school. They email you reminders, never yell at you for no reason and they all wished me happy birthday. Live lessons (basically what it sounds like, but very very helpful). Pace. You don't have to do a certain amount of work any specific day so if I'm feeling super lazy or I'm busy on Monday and Friday I won't do any work those days but I'll just make sure to catch up Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Cons: DBA's. (basically where you call your teacher for a 10 minute discussion about your progress for the month) They're not that bad depending on the teacher I know some of mine give you DBA study guides so that helps a lot but for some you have no idea what to do so that stinks. Collaborations (where you work with other kids on assignments over the computer) I hate these because some people don't want to put in effort and they make you do all the work and take all the credit. I don't see why it's necessary at all because we're not even seeing each other either it's literally over the computer.

As for the actual work, I find it challenging because I feel like the teachers move kind of fast and they don't quiz you on what you learned sometimes. But it is up to par with FL education standards so I don't know if FLVS controls that or the state does.

So yeah, those are my feelings on FLVS. Overall I really enjoy it :)
