When reviewing the five websites I analyzed them on first impression, amount of information, and then on if I would send my children there. When doing my first initial review I noticed that Ohio Connections Academy and ECOT stood out the most. They had the most appealing websites and a ton of information. When I think of my imaginary children I picture them in elementary school. If that was the case I would choose Ohio Connections Academy because they had a simple website and pictures of all of their staff online. Seeing the faces of those teaching my children is important to me. I want to see a friendly, kind face that looks like they would be willing to take the time with my child to teach them as well as keep me involved. If my child was older I would choose ECOT because it seems to have a solid plan of getting a diploma. They also require 25 hours a week of active online learning, so that would make my child stick with it, which is important.
The distance learning school that I would not choose is Parent Connection. I could not find any information on their website about their online teachers and plans to get children through school. There were a few tabs to choose from, but once selected there was minimal information that did not answer any of my analyses questions. When clicking on each grade breakdown there were FAQ's and not a structured page with information.Why would I send my child somewhere that cannot even provide me with information?
