Not doing it is not really an option because as described in the opening post, she lost a bunch of credits freshman year due to mental health issues. I’m trying to position her to have all the credits she needs by graduation to qualify for admission to our in state universities. I’m sure it will all work out and I’m just griping because it seems needlessly rigid to have the summer on-line program have to exactly track the timing of the traditional summer program. I’m not looking for alternatives although I appreciate the thoughtful suggestions. It’s more that I’m just curious about what other people’s experiences were like.
Based on last summer’s experience with Latin 1, I’m pretty sure that this online curriculum was create by some outside provider. Our district actually has a wide range of 48 online classes offered during the summer (for a fee of $185 per “semester”), the majority of which are not remedial but electives like forensic science, agriscience, medical terminology, interior design, fashion design, oceanographic/marine studies, veterinary science, etc. The vast selection is part of what convinces me that the curriculum comes from an outside provider. D would love that forensic science class but we have to prioritize Latin 2.
