[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused - how is it at home if it's done during class? I thought the Campuses used the textbooks rather than the online program? What's the point of paying $$$$ for the AoPS campus if they're just going to be doing the $ BA online software?

If the campus class is mostly just BA online then I would try a month of RSM and BA online and ask which style he prefers.[/quote]

AoPS homework is online through the Beast Academy portal. I'm told parents can log in and see the progress and monitor how much time is actually spent on it. But yeah, it's screen time. The class is in person once a week and they told me no screens or minimal (a project will be used, that kind of thing. Not ipads and laptops). Is this what AoPS is like at. your campuses? Ours is close to opening so there isn't a current class I can go and ask about and no parents in person who know what its like.

She did RSM summer camp and while she liked it fine, I didnt really understand the math because it's different from how I learned it and theres no written explanation anywhere and no online portal (at least there wasnt in 3rd grade, maybe its different as kids get older). So I can't go in and read the "how to" and then help explain it to her. She just did the summer program for RSM so I dunno if the semester long programs are different.[/quote]
Oh, the homework is online. That makes a lot more sense. I don't have any personal experience with the AoPS csmpuses. If you like the ability to see what she's learning and be involved then it seems like AoPS would be a better fit since Beast Academy online has a lot of parent features, access to digital versions of the comic textbooks, videos with example problems, etc.[/quote]
