RainbowMom Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Our family has been using Apologia Academy classes for five years. I'm planning on one or maybe two of my kids doing Biology with them in the Fall. They have three different Biology teachers. They are Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Price, and Mrs. Fowler. Any recommendations? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

................... Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 NOT MRS JONES 1. She doesn't show herself making jt very hard to concentrate 2. She grades hard 3. She has an extremely high pitche'd annoying voice (not her fault but it's sooo annoying to listen to for 2 hours straight.) 4. Her syllabus is unclear yet she runs the class exactly like college with not enough explanations and no reminders. This makes it hard to follow the course and meet her expectations. 5. Her examples are very lame. She basically teaches word for word from the text and then when she does pull in an analogy or example of her own we are usually either laughing or hanging our heads wondering why she though it was interesting. the most I can say is that now my son can do a 3 page formal lab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Ps watch MRs Fowler... My son wants to try her next year and she has sample videos and she shows herself talking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowMom Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks so much for the response! Where are the sample videos? I'll have to check those out. I wondered if Price and Fowler were new because I don't remember them being an option before. Do you think you will take a class with Apologia Academy again? Thanks again! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
