egao_gakari Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'm researching for DS's 10th grade next year, and trying to cast as broad a net as possible. Any teacher or course recommendations from WTM Academy? He's taking Bio with Dr. Bennett this year and LOVES it. He seems to do well in classes when he likes the teacher, and not so well with non-engaging teachers, so my goal is just to come up with a slate of highly-recommended courses from various sources, and then have him choose a selection of them 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 My ds has had many WTMA classes. He would take anything from Mr. Caro. My ds adores him and thinks he is so smart and funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachermom2834 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 My ds is in that class now. He definitely doesn't need it for anything but it is his one last hurrah with Mr. Caro. He has been taking him since middle school history and is in 11th grade now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) If you can consider other online course providers, Connie at Clover Valley Chemistry gets rave reviews. She offers regular, honors, and post-AP level courses. See reviews in past threads, here, and here. ETA -- PS Connie is our own well-loved Dicentra on the WTM boards!

Just started with WTMA since we have used them before and know we can pay for their courses with charter funds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Ms. Jetta with Clover Creek Physics is amazing, as is Mr. Reini for math at Wilson Hill Academy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I highly recommend the Rhetoric sequence. It has been a great fit for one of my teens. The teachers have changed, so I can’t personally recommend one, but there is at least one teacher for next year that I’ve seen good reviews for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCB Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I keep hoping that Mr Hummel will teach Rhetoric 1 again! My oldest dd was extremely fortunate to have him as her teacher for Rhetoric 1 and 2 and he was fantastic. One of dd's friends had Rhetoric 1 with him too and thought he was fantastic! They both learned so much from him and my dd has had absolutely no difficulties at all with college writing and I feel a lot of that is because of his classes. Just checked and he's not teaching it 😞 My youngest has only got 2 years after this year so it looks like she won't be able to do those classes.
