BeckyFL Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Can I just say that I am thrilled with these classes so far this year? Ds has had 2 of his 4 so far (Biology and English 301) and I sat in on both. I am so impressed AND I'm feeling so very grateful as this is JUST what we needed!!!! Anyone else? Edited... we had our 3rd class and I'm continuing to be blown away. That one is critical thinking taught by an attorney and absolutely great!!!! If anyone IS thinking about this for next year, the earlier you sign up, the larger the discount. We can't afford full price so we have signed up way ahead. It's still a sacrifice for us, but I am feeling now just how worth it it really is. Edited August 17, 2011 by BeckyFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evergreen State Sue Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I signed my dd up for A&P for next year so I could take advantage of the discount. She is so excited to take this class but unfortunately has to wait another year. I'm glad to hear you think it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBCaroline Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Anyone else? Yes! I think dd is in the same Biology section as your son. She loves it!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine State Sue Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Ds starts Friday with Exercise Physiology and Sports Medicine. When you say you sat in, do you mean that you signed in from a separate computer like a student? I wasn't sure if it was okay for parents to do that or not. Did you identify yourself as a parent?

Sunshine State Sue Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Becky, Can I ask why you are paying big bucks for Landry Academy instead of using FLVS? You can PM me if you don't want to post publicly. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine State Sue Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 No, I sat beside ds and listened. :-) Did you use your computer's speakers? There was no need for a microphone? Or do you have some kind of a splitter so that you can both use headsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine State Sue Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Would you mind telling me what FLVS is? Florida Virtual School. It is free to FL residents. Many states have virtual academies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Dd started Russian 1 at Landry yesterday. She likes it very much.....looks like it is going to be a winner here! :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 My son is in section 1 of the Biology class (Mon @ 10AM). I, too sat in and was very impressed. He had another class on Wed that I wasn't as impressed with, but time will tell! I am thinking I might want to sign up for some of next years as well, but I do want to wait a little longer to see how the semester works out.

I wasn't sure if it was okay for parents to do that or not. Did you identify yourself as a parent? I did sign in from a separate computer, using my name and location. I didn't respond to any of the class content questions, but I did play with the classroom tools as they introduced them. I don't plan on sitting in on every session, I just wanted to get a feel for how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to explain if someone asked me why I was there, but no one did. I'm certainly not going to do it every week, but I really wanted to see/hear what I was paying for.
