My husband and I thought we did our research and attended parent sessions as well as a school event before making our decision into what we thought was going to be an amazing opportunity. Only 1 week in we called it quits... after myself and my children having been in tears and so totally overwhelmed. I honestly feel duped... how can 1 teacher have a class size of over 90 students? The Live Lesson rooms have a cap of 90 so students we getting bumped off to only have to watch the recording later. My kids were strapped to their desks for over 7 hours a day trying to complete the work, no breaks not even an adequate lunch break! They talk about kids having the opportunity to socialize? If you saw the "chat pod" that goes on in the live lesson rooms with 90 kids typing at once about their favorite subject, music, color... it is flying by at such a high speed there is no way to keep up never mind form a relationship. In what school do they offer a field trip for students to attend... only to learn that their full day of lessons will be waiting for them when they get home? This school right here. I feel like a failure that I put my kids through such a horrible experience to start the school year... when we pulled the plug and told my kids they were going back into their school district I never saw them so relieved and happy. Biggest regret!
