Online Instruction: How to Succeed!
So you are homeschooling and you are fully or partially virtual. Why isn’t it working? How can I help my kid succeed here? Marji’s experience with online instruction extends from the parent side to the teacher experience—she has homeschooled her six children both with and without online classes, some online classes (and hated them), some online classes (and loved them)—and now teaches through an online academy. She has “been there, done that,” and seen the pros and cons from both sides—information only a handful of people can offer. These tips are for both students and parents.
