Jim H. Review of FLVS
This has been a horrible experience for our Daught...
This has been a horrible experience for our Daughter. She enrolled (9th grade English, Biology and Algebra 1) to get away from some distracting students in "resident" class and it has been very difficult. Website is full of I.T. flaws in the programming-- (Posting assignments--getting proof you turned things in, getting tests that go blank 3/4 of the way through!!). I watched my Daughter electronically LOSE her whole exam when she was on question FOUR out of a FIVE question essay Algebra 1 module. You had to type out answers of linear equations and EXPLAIN in essay form what you're doing. The page scrolled right off the screen and then the pop-up that says "Do you want to stay on this page?" FAILED to Keep Her on her test page!!! Her whole test just vanished along with all the work she had done thus far. She screamed and was so upset, that she couldn't even look at the next assignment. I do not advise anybody enroll their teenager in Florida Virtual School, unless you enjoy total family stress. It's not like "In Class" where you can actually PASS a course without finishing every, single, assignment. With "Virtual" if you don't keep up, you get withdrawn (kicked out) and also if you do not finish every single assignment, test, DBA phone chat with instructor--the course follows you like a little black cloud and rains on you, until you FINISH ALL or FAIL. Wow, that's great !!!
