School started for my daughter this Monday--at Open High School of Utah. Although, she's been a home-schooler since Kindergarten, being in High School and having actual online teachers made her very nervous. I assured her that it would be okay and having teachers would be wonderful. After all, mommy is also a student of University of Phoenix Online.
After several hours of downloading her materials to her laptop that was issued to her by OHSU, she finally started her classes. It was actually a little late, but as soon as she started clicking her first course (the one that finished downloading first)--Algebra, her anxiety subsided. Not only her fear for Algebra diminished, her love for her Math teacher increased as the hours passed. She made Algebra seemingly a fun class to be in.
After those initial hours of getting to know her courses, she already has established her favorite classes and teachers. Her excitement went through the roof ... and needless to say, she stayed up till 3 a.m. to do her first homeworks!
