[QUOTE="ksm, post: 707660, member: 12511"] our community has several options. Our oldest daughter did a school year where she took two or three online classes (the ones she struggled the mist with) at home, and the school allowed her to take some electives at the school. There was a wonan who called and talked to the kids almost once a week. The online classes consisted of a taped segment of a teacher talking about the subject. The math teacher would write the problem on the screen and show each step. Some written information, then quizzes for each segment. There was an actual teacher assigned (not the one in the video) who they could text or call for help. There were no papers to hand in at all. There were no books or work books involved. Students were encouraged to take notes. Finals were taken at the schools office. This was a good solution for oldest daughter. She didn't get stressed out at school by being there all day or having drama in the lunch room. I did have to keep on her some. It was the first time she made the honor roll! Mainly because you couldn't "forget" to hand in assignments! Plus, you had to finish each assignment before going on to the next. Younger daughter is doing a GED Plus program, also thru the school district, but at a different location. The school figures out what courses is required, then they take a GED class and get a diploma from the High school. Younger daughter needed a US History, Government, and two semesters of Senior English. Then the GED classes. Her online classes consists entirely of reading info on the screen and taking quizzes. Nothing to listen to or watch. There is one DVD for history and one for government to watch, take notes about and hand in. Plus there are written reports done with pen and ink to hand in. She is bored to death... But made a B in history and will probably do the same on government. She will probably do a pre test for GED, then study the ones she might need help with. She is hoping to finish this up by the end of junior year. The school no longer lets kids combine online and actual school... They do have a computer assisted classroom, but it is just for those who are in jeopardy of not passing, so it wasn't an option for younger. I did not want to battle online school at home. Good luck. I hope you find some good options. Ksm [/QUOTE]
