My daughter loved the writing assignments in this class. I truly appreciated that this class was not filled with what I call busy work. It was truly reading and writing.

This class was the perfect class for my daughter. She learned so much about analyzing literature while reading, and she learned how to write well. The workload was the perfect amount. My daughter hasn’t always been a strong reader or writer. This class challenged her while also making her feel successful. This is all because of the amazing teaching by Ms. Kelly! My daughter looked forward to her classes and said that she wished Ms. Kelly could teach her every subject! This is a great introduction to high school English, and I feel that my daughter is prepared to take on more advanced English courses because of this class. It has been her favorite English class she has ever had.

The work that we do in the class is very fun and interesting, with the different types of poems and discussions. The breakout rooms help students learn from others’ work and get more ideas for future writing.

This class was a great class for my daughter. I really appreciated how it also included real books. Our daughters have taken many online classes in high school from different online schools. One of the downsides is the amount of time on the computer. I loved that this AIM class had my daughter off the screen in real books, textbooks and creative projects she could do off the screen. I also appreciated the amount of literature mixed in with the writing. Some courses have so many books that they are covering and large amounts of required reading. For a student that has dyslexia this can be overwhelming. This class had just the right amount and many of the books were available to listen to via an audiobook. Thank you, Ms. Kelly!

I enjoyed this class so much, I felt like the homework load was the perfect amount. I also really liked how we did some creative projects after we read each book.

Ms. Kelly differentiated the assignments and not overwhelm our student. The class fostered healthy work habits. Keaton had his writing assignments organized and was consistently working for this class without being overwhelmed. The peer reviews were a great tool and encouraged collaboration in such a positive way. He completed this class year a better writer.

My son enjoyed this course. The exercises and the assignments were well selected and meaningful. The reading selections were interesting, engaging and thought provoking – the students discussed them in the live classes and on discussion boards. The writing assignments had the goal to teach writing structure, and the students were allowed to choose topics of interest. Writing about a passionate subject is a very effective way to motivate writing. I have seen significant growth in my son’s reading comprehension and writing. Thank you for your dedication with this course.

I’m not much of an English guy, but this class doesn’t make the subject boring or hard to follow along with.

Parent (High School Academic Writing) — September 29, 2023

The directions the teacher provide are excellent, and the grading rubric is always clear. The feedback is very informative and helps my son improve his writing. There is great organization of the course, very supportive demeanor and constructive delivery of the material. I love that students are given the opportunity to edit their papers.

I think I’ve received a better understanding so far of the different writing rules and how to use them. It is a flexible class so I can work on it whenever I have the time, and still get a good understanding of it.
