Having trouble with online teacher?

Question

I'm a freshman and I use the homeschool program K12. My one teacher though is horrible! I have no clue what to do, I've told my mom and she doesn't know what to do either. She doesn't email me when I need help, she always comes up with something I did wrong on my assignments. I have no clue what to do, shes such a pain! What should I do?

Answer 1

Is there a phone number for the school?  Have your mom call the school and discuss the problem with an administrator / manager if she cannot get the teacher on the phone.

If that doesn't work - change.  That is one of the great things about homeschooling. We are not locked into something that is not working.

Answer 2

If she is a new online teacher, it can take a bit to get acclimated to teaching online. She may get her 'sea legs' yet.

Short-term Solution:

See if you can request an Elluminate classroom tutoring session with her. Email and arrive ready with specific questions related to what you do not understand. Many concepts are very difficult to explain by e-mail, but are easy in the online classroom environment.

Longterm solution:

K12 has an annual annonymous survey done with all the students of the virtuals. You can give her a negative report. Unlike a public school, these teachers do get fired if they get too many negative reviews.
