FLVS does a good job at going over the material. So far the teachers have been quite good and responsive (most of the time). My son's algebra teacher was really good and spent nearly an hour one on one with him going over a concept I was not able to convey to him. That is amazing. However, sometimes it is difficult to get in touch with anyone. The website and the blackboard collaborate program were difficult to deal with. Live lessons were hit or miss. And another thing..... kids really want to work at their own pace. Pushing for assignments weekly when they are already taking 7 classes at their brick and mortar school along with after school activities/sports means that they may need more than one week to turn in the requisite 3 assignments. To be pushed repeatedly when there isn't time in the week to meet the 3 assignments is stressful in the extreme to say the least. My daughter was taking 7 classes (2 AP classes) and I wanted to have her take French 3 Honors, and the only way to fit it in was to do via Virtual School. With her in Band and with away games and rehearsals and all county getting pushed for those 3 assignments each and every week.....ugh. Come on--change the policy. Let work at your own pace mean something!
