iQ Academy - anybody?

[myjo]

iQ Academy is a virtual school that I'm currently enrolling my 12 year old son into. This probably belongs in the virtual schools thread, but I wanted to see if I could get more views and a possible response. Soooo, does anyone here have any experience with this particular program? I would love to hear about it!

IQ academy is run by the same people who run the charter school my children are at. The opinion of that is still out. So far, my children love it, but I don't think they are learning much. But my children are not with the IQ academy, but rather with the brick and mortar school, my high schoolers that is. I homeschool my younger children.

I used to teach for one of their schools. No complaints about the company by any means. As a homeschooling mama, there are a few things that I would have trouble with (my kids are young and have never been enrolled by IQ so take it with a grain of salt):

1. There seemed to be a lot of busy work.
2. It seemed to take much more time than many homeschooling families actually spend on school and very few students taking a fulltime online load seem to be able to successfully pass the courses (at any virtual school, not just IQ)
3. In general, I just have a hard time handing even part of my child's education over to someone else.
4. I had 350 students one semester and 7 subjects that I was teaching.
