(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school has gifted, AP, honors classes. Calls from administration or teachers or counselors returned promptly. Questions answered. Teachers are nice and my kids like the school a lot. They like getting done in reasonable time and at their pace as they go through the material. They like not being harassed on the bus and at school and putting up with all the drama. Avoiding the politics of the teachers/ administration. And this mom likes not having to come up with the curriculum. The internet reimbursement is nice. Computers, books and all free as public school. The price is right. With their dad traveling a lot, they can have their schedule and be with him when he's home without absences that would count against him. flexibility is nice for travel, family occasions. Friends are still plentiful as good friends are. They can connect in a hotel, or library, or place of business set up.
Downside is lack of personal discipline on the part of young adults will be weary to parents if for nine months they must get them up, keep them on task every day. Personal discipline will grow and the kids sometimes connect with their friends online at their school when they are at a computer they will contact.
An interesting world is their future. I encourage mine to embrace it as I wonder myself for them and what their kids may be doing. Amazing.
