Wouldn't you know, only a week or so into the semester, and we're already at a loss again.

I saw the 'Florida Virtual' reviews, it sounded real good.  But all it is  is an online textbook. You simply read the lesson, and take the quiz.  No teacher teaches a thing.  There is nothing.  Just a textbook, and a quiz.  Sure, you can retake the quiz, but that doesn't work for my 10yo.  The teacher is only available for questions, the don't teach anything unless you ask.

What!?

No wonder they don't get paid as much...

We're hanging on for math, though. I just have to teach the concepts, or find a site that will.  She really likes her teacher, too.  Although, phone-to-phone is NOT the way to teach her. I am going to have to find a tutor...

So we're on Weaver for Language Arts.  We read together some poems by Shel Silverstein the other day, and their job is to write a poem this week. 

We're going through a lot of freebies for worksheets.  Fun, fun!;) 

anyways, things keep changing.  We had to drop Spanish, too.  What language can be learned with no teacher to teach it?  You can't just 'read' the lesson, with no video or anything....

What to do...
Happy Homeschooling!
