Filled Under: online classes
Every other Friday night when assignments are due, I find myself cyber stalking my kids accounts to make sure their courses are entered. If they are late, they will lose 10 points a day.
Daughter forgot one test completely, so I sent her to do it. When she was done, the score had not calculated, when it finally did she had a low grade. Fortunately, it was just one of several quizzes this week. My problem is that we could not access the site for a couple of hours today, so I don't know if the site was still having problems, or if she did not know the material. I have been on the internet for enough years to know how software glitches work.
(I made a note in her notebook about the site being down, just so that when final grades are issued, I can compare my notes to her grades to see if there is a pattern. If there is, I will adjust accordingly.)
Speaking of the site being down for a couple of hours, my son announced that all of his work was complete. So why is he downstairs right now just a few hours from deadline entering again? I have no idea. He was able to prove to me that he did the work. Could it be because of access problems with the site earlier today?
Don't know that I can blame it on Ga Virtual School though since our internet provider SUCKS! Take that Charter. We went for two days last week without access.... that didn't help get any school work done. However, I could get to other sites today, just not the online classes.
