[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K-2, 2 hours of live instruction daily. 
3-5, 2-3 hours of live instruction, starts earlier.

what about higher grades?[/quote]

2 hours a day of live class for k-2 is too much. Most kids that age are learning very little in front of the computer for group lessons.  And in addition to the "live class room" which is like experiencing ADD, a horrible phone conference, and flipping channels on the tv while trying to listen to the radio and read a book at the same time.
Then the kids have to sit on the computer even longer for the websites that hold the math, reading and other lessons.  I am all for technology learning but at times work books are actually better. 
What would be even better are kits with hands on learning activities. Maybe that complement the work books and lesson for the week.  
I would much rather email in pictures of our work and hands on learning than have my kid sit in front of a computer for 2-4 hours a day.
It is just not going to happen for my child.[/quote]
