[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a terrible plan. I wouldn't want my child to have algebra 2 the first 10 weeks of 10th grade then not have a math class until 11th grade. Or what happens if you have Spanish or French the first ten weeks of school then take the next level the following school year. What happens if your 2 classes are PE and Art. [/quote]

My thought exactly.  You cannot do math that compressed and get a really good foundation.[/quote]

It's obviously a trade off.   I think a 10 week compressed, intensive course where the teacher is just teaching that class, and one other class, would be better than taking a 40 minute online class daily, on top of 7 other online classes.  Just logging in and out to the different classes each day is going to take some time.   It means kids are on the screen for a lot less time too.

I took French I in a four week summer school class at a college when I was in 10th grade so I know it can be done!  (Went on to successfully take French II and III in high school over a year).

If your two classes happen to be PE and Art?  I mean, I guess that's what you study for 10 weeks.  If your last two periods every day are PE and Art, what happens then?  You have a non-academic part of your day.[/quote]
