![]() ![]() Their customer service across each department worked as if no one was taking notes in our file and that peter didn't know what paul was doing. All because the videos were not properly playing and would say we did not watch the videos but we know our kids watched all of the videos for that grading period. This was also causing us to miss grading periods and being constantly hit with late work fees. We spent over an hour on the phone with tech support and academics and passed around to 5 different people trying to explain what was going on and our concerns. This made it very difficult for us to accurately track where I children were supposed to be on their lessons. So if you are on day 100 of schooling, all the videos across all subjects are supposed to be on day 100. The system is supposed to have all of the videos across all the subjects on the same day. So if the videos cannot be skipped or fast forwarded, then how is Manuscript writing on lesson 100 and Math on lesson 95? This was concerning for us because Abeka does not allow you to skip or fast forward the online videos. Then the next thing we noticed, is that all of the class lessons were on different days and were not synced up together as they were in the beginning. ![]() We would find ourselves having to refresh the page 5+ times to get it to go to the next video or having to sacrifice time and just rewatch the video from the beginning even though we know our kids already watched that video. That is when my husband and I discovered that the videos would play all the way to the end but if you tried going to the next video lesson, it would say that you could not move forward due to the previous video not being completed. until I sat with them a few times to see what they were talking about. Naturally, I thought my daughters were being normal kids trying to find a way out of not watching the videos. But I found myself having to be very hands on with making sure they watch the videos and that the videos actually make it to the next video.Ī few months into the program, we noticed that our daughters kept complaining about watching the same videos over and over again. We thought this program would allow me to make sure they are learning while I work from home and also allow me to provide more supplemental teachings in the evening. I have to keep in mind that my children are very young, and their attention spans at this age are not the greatest. If we start the videos at 9am, we wont be done until the evening. Most of the videos are 30+ mins long and the amount to do in a day may vary. The biggest issue we have is with keeping up with all of the videos. Once we got sick with covid and was out for 2 weeks being super sick, we found ourselves playing catch up with the videos and turning in grades on time for the rest of the time we had our daughters in the program (still in the program with one grading period left). We have our children enrolled in the accredited K5 program with online streaming. The curriculum is great, but the workload for my 6 and 5 year old's is bit much.
