[quote=Anonymous]My son is taking a Virtual Virginia math class right now.  I signed him up as a homeschool parent, essentially.  I haven't been thrilled...the year started out great with small classes and an excellent teacher, but then halfway through fall semester, they consolidated class sections and it was 3x the size and he had much less individual attention.  Also, there were only 4 days/week of synchronous classes, and those were no more than 20 mins long.

Now during 2nd semester, he has a whole new teacher.  She is not as good at presenting and engaging the kids, but she does teach for 30-40 mins rather than 20.  But now they have only 3 synchronous days per week.  There are a LOT of assessments and not much actual "homework"...it's just quiz, mastery check, test, benchmark, mastery test, quiz, etc.

That said, he's getting the concepts.  And maybe it's about as much content as he'd get in class when you cut out all the time for
Classroom management and behaviors and stuff.  [/quote]
