What are teachers' qualifications, and how do they interact with students Teaching is an interactive process. Or, as Rick Perkins, Instructional Leader at FLVS puts it: "Curriculum doesn't teach itself. Students still need the guidance of an instructor." In high-quality online schools teacher-directed instruction plays an important role. Regular student-teacher and parent-teacher check-ins are required, and students can contact teachers as needed. Timeliness of teacher response to students is also important. The rule of thumb at FLVS, Perkins says, is to return assignments within 48 hours and to respond to questions within 24 hours.This one-on-one relationship with a teacher has potential benefits for kids with learning difficulties.

K-12) education. Some people believe in using the public schools while others believe in sending their kids to a private school, but there is lots of middle ground.We spent a lot of time this year looking for that middle ground. My oldest child will be starting kindergarten this fall, and although I find a lot of positives in our school district as a whole, my particular local option falls short in our eyes. While our particular neighborhood local public option leaves a lot to be desired, yet we couldn't fathom how we would be able to afford the private options in our area. We felt there had to be some compromise we could find, and we were right, we just had to know where to look.Resources and Questions to AskI used a variety of resources to research our options for my son this fall. He is currently enrolled in a special education public school program, so I asked his teachers for recommendations. I used some online resources such as...more
