Very confusing. When you call 1-800-382-6010 you have to wait 20 mins or longer to even talk to a live person. We never received all the materials to do his work. If this is your first trying Alabama Connection Academy it can be very overwhelming! Do research and don't just settle. Common Core sucks!!!!!

They tell you what you want to hear to get you enrolled and then pretty much just let you figure it out . Navigating is a nightmare and communication has already proven to be a no go . The orientation doesn't really help you at all just leaves you confused . If your stuck and feeling confused they still won't respond so if im on an assignment and need help I'd have to wait for them to eventually if ever get back to me which means we will only be getting behind until they do decide to call or email back . Not impressed at all don't waste your time .

I had my son enrolled this year. We were having second thoughts and due to Covid-19 his public school is doing a virtual option. But if he likes the whole being at home thing we were going to do Connections next year. If anyone has any personal experiences with Alabama Connections please tell me.

The lessons were poorly put together and the navigation from one thing to the other was suicidal. We are back in public school. What a relief. Now trying to figure out how to send back materials. All the classes are not up to date and are miserable messed up confusing nightmares. I do online with college classes and they were easier for my son to navigate than the Connexus.

I am not even opening either box as this week has taught us one major lesson learned and that’s that this school is not for us! Wow. I can’t believe how confusing yet regimented it is.

From all I'v...I had never heard of them before. From all I've heard about Common Core, it is ridiculous! With having four children, I had trouble juggling. Turns out I'm not the mom who can teach 4 kids all their subjects in groups or individually and do it right! We started using Abeka Academy a few years ago. My son is the only one who has used it for 100% of his schooling since 1st grade. We enroll in an umbrella instead of them, though, so we can make it work for us. If you enroll with them, you have to send some things in and even have your child call and read and be graded by someone there. I like to keep the control in the homeschool setting and be able to tweak it to work for us. I love, love, LOVE their reading program. It is all phonics based and makes a lot of sense. If you are interested, research it. They have a new thing this year where you can get 10 hours of schooling for $50 and do any grade you want. That means you could back your son up and get in all the review he needs. It also lets you try it out for cheap without committing to anything. Also, you can re-watch any lesson up to 10 times with them and you DO have a book. The lessons are pre-recorded, but my kids have always felt like they were part of the class. I've only had the need to try to reach a teacher about 3 times total. You don't actually reach the teacher, but you do reach a human (college student there) who will be sure you get your question answered. We don't pay the $50 slots. We just purchase the whole grade kits. You have to supply your own computer device, but they send you every student text and work book needed for the year and all of the teacher grading books so you can check their work. We have been more than happy, including my kids loving their teachers. Nothing is Common Core, but it is religion-based education. If you ever think you want to know more about it, feel free to email me. I just wanted to tell you about it since your son could use help with reading. All of my kids were reading actual books at the end of K5 with this curriculum, and I have a couple friends who switched their kids to it after having issues and now they are reading well, too. They were doing a free 30-day trial of their video lessons for new people, as well. Not sure if that is still going on or not.The Skinny on Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629215581187785926noreply@blogger.com
