[quote=Anonymous]My kid did it last year, so not sure if it is different this year. Last year there were hardly any actual lessons in the precalc class. The class met, but most of the class was independent work time. The teacher would do breakout rooms to answer questions, but very little teaching actually occurred. If a student did not understand a concept in the module, there were video "helps" or they could ask the teacher, who would try to explain it either in front of the class or in a breakout room. It was not a good model for my kid who needed more actual instruction, but for a self directed, motivated, math savvy kid who can learn on their own, it might work.

On the other hand - my kid loved doing English through the program. That was much easier to grasp the content even though again, not much actual teacher led instruction. For social studies - the teacher had full lessons during the online class periods and shared the slide presentations in the module. That was a great class. Good content and lots of teacher led instruction.

So very much teacher and kid dependent.[/quote]
