The following question is from Melissa.
“I was wondering if you have ever used an online summer school program to fast track your child through a course?
I am asking because last year I was in a car accident and was not able to keep up my son’s schooling for several months. He did well with most of his classes without my guidance but did fall behind in a couple of subjects.
I have looked at online summer classes but am overwhelmed with the choices. Have you had any luck with high school summer courses that take about 3 to 6 weeks to complete?
I would like my son to graduate on time, especially because it is not his fault he fell behind. Thank you for your time.”
