Florida Virtual School (FLVS) is an online education provider that offers publicly-funded courses to students in Florida. Outside the state, courses are available on a tuition basis. Homeschool students can choose from a catalog of elementary, middle, and high school courses that include core subjects, honors, Advanced Placement, world languages, electives, and more.
I have a kindergartner and second grade student enrolled in Flvs through our local school district and I am disgusted by how many errors there are in the materials. Almost every day there is either a grammatical error, spelling error, or missing information. The read aloud is a robotic voice that mispronounces words and doesn’t read everything on the page or the tests. During sorting activities, if the child accidentally puts something in the wrong box you have to restart the entire activity. Worksheets don’t match the videos they are supposed to go with. When you do submit a complaint, you get 3 emails about each thing you report and they never tell you what they are going to do to prevent it from happening in the future. Their latest email is that I’m sending in errors too often so I should wait for the end of a module to report all the issues in the module. It should not be up to the parents to proofread their classes! Very unsatisfied with this user unfriendly program.
Cons: Errors in materials
Grades Used: K,2
