If you are a parent reading this review then I suggest not placing your child in this program unless you are prepared for constant whining, complaining, and general "so-angry-im-pulling-out-my-own-hair-behavior." I myself am a student at a public high school and a virtual school student and can testify for the inconvenience and ineffective teaching methods of this program. I have completed three courses, now starting my fourth with virtual school and all I have to say is I hate it. At first in the Welcome Screen they snag you into their pretty little lie with their colorful design and so-called "user-friendly' interface and that is true for a small amount of time, but then FLVS rears its ugly head. Suddenly teachers start to nag, beg, then demanding that at least four assignment be submitted per week. That may seem easy at first, but the work gets longer, and more difficult. Even if you are enrolled in a real school as well as FLVS, they don't cut back the number of required assignments. This can prove difficult for students with homework and holding jobs. The program is also very time consuming, making the future generation of students a giant lot of "computer hogging introverts who never see the light of day". This may sound as if I am just a whiney spoiled brat complaining because I have to do SOMETHING for myself in this day and age where adolescents are lazier than dirt, but this is a chore for parent and student. Not to mention the inconsistency of communication between instructor and student. While taking an FLVS course, your child may encounter an assignment called a DBA, which stands for Discussion Based Assessment, and on multiple occasions I have called to complete this assignment and the instructor didn't pick up the phone and after multiple attempts, no dice. Parents, please only sign up your children for this program as an EXTREME last resort.
