Cons: Some video sound was too low, no diploma
Grades Used: 7th, 8th
Flvs worked great for my daughter that failed 2 classes when the pandemic hit. Her grades fell for at home learning through her school.... 8 hr days on a computer is tiring for a 14 yr old. Out of the 3 classes she's taken the teachers were all super helpful, 1 class had videos that were almost impossible to hear but we adjusted. We are continuing flvs for another year before going back to regular school bc flvs does not give diplomas but "prepares students for a GED exam" not that it's any different but every student deserves to walk when they graduate... along with all the memories and friendships u meet along the way. I'm happy we found flvs to get us through the tough spots though.
Cons: Errors in materials
Grades Used: K,2
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.
