CAtoVA Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm specifically interested in hearing about your children's experiences with these instructors: Beatty, Cardinale, Osborne and/or Murphy. However, at this point any feedback about experiences with IEW's online writing classes would be appreciated! My rising 8th grade ds may be taking SWI B online next year but I don't know where to begin as far as selecting an instructor. Several time slots would work so it well may come down to instructor reviews. Thanks in advance! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Has your child done an online class before? How strong are their writing skills? Organizational skills? Will they have a lot of support from you or do you need them to function pretty independently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAtoVA Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) My DS has done some online classes this year including writing (with homeschoolconnectionsonline). He pretty much needs hand holding even though he is in 7th grade and 13 yo. Next year (8th grade) I am hoping for some more maturity. I will be there for him but plan on removing the scaffolding as he progresses. We have done IEW with me as the teacher and it is one writing program that works well for my DS mainly because of the structure part. He is stronger on the style and voice of writing and weaker on the organizational skills. Overall, his writing is fair for a middle schooler. It could be stronger especially with organization.
