Virtual School learning should allow manual text books and print outs to prevent time consuming internet shutdown and wait time in between page and subject changes. This would improve student interest and performance. Parents like me would pay for the books.
The program would not allow my son into the program for the first two weeks of school. Then the teacher told him he had to complete three weeks of work in one week. This child is in grade K. If a child enters late because of the program itself, they should not be required to cram three weeks of work in one week. Not only that, the internet went down three days during that week. The following week we had a hurricane. An entire two weeks extra was lost because there was no internet. In other words, a total of four weeks of learning was lost.
The teacher was told by this program that 6% of work had to be completed per week. And using pace didn't match with the percentages required.
The teacher narrowed that to some extent after the hurricane but we had to pull him out as more time was spent worrying and sloppily cramming lessons than learning and it became impossible to catch-up.
PLEASE ALLOW YOUR TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE PROVISIONS FOR STUDENTS ENERTING LATE AND LET THEM DECIDE IF A STUDENT DOES OR DOES NOT HAVE TO COMPLETE CERTAIN ASSIGNMENTS.
AND FOR THE FUTURE OF THE STUDENTS, PLEASE PROVIDE REAL MANUAL BOOKS AND RUNOFFS.
The curriculum itself is good. But, since you have hired certified teachers, they should be able to decide what lessons should be taught or deleted based on student prior knowledge and evaluation.
Our kids and teachers are not robots. Go easy on both the teachers and the students. Requirements should never be so hard, that pressure from you, put on the teachers, who then in turn push the student, create a serious hate for learning. Thank you for listening. From a former now retired teacher.
