Interesting. I also wonder what the problem was. My two children have been on Acellus since January 2021, in the 5th and 8th grades, and we absolutely love it. We have had zero problems, zero glitches. They both say they are learning better because there are no classroom distractions and their use of time is far more efficient. I can see their classes, the content and assignments, grades/progress in each class at any time, and if they are meeting their daily goals. Signing up and getting started was very easy. Both my kids were working in classes the day after we signed up. Acellus has also been very responsive to answering e-mails and phone calls I’ve placed. We’re extremely happy with it.
I’m looking for a home school for my son in the 6th grade and your comment got me interested. Do you choose the classes they take or is the curriculum already set up ? Are you still happy with their services
@@nr1408 I'm probably a little late to respond but I'm in Highschool , I just transferred to acellus a couple weeks ago as a Junior and I honestly really like it. It's a little different because I've never done an official online school but I like the fact that you're able to look back at things in your classes you've struggled with. The best part is going at your own pace during classes. You have a goal to complete by Friday but you're able to do your work at a time during your day that works for you the most. It's really helped me with my anxiety of not being able to prepare good enough in my classes. If I mess up during one of the assignments I'm able to re-take it and get a better grade if I need to. I'm here if you have anymore questions at all about the program!
@@nr1408 Also parents are able to see their kids progress so much easier! It's updated everyday when the student completes something so you don't have to wait weeks to see if your grade gets put in
Yesterday I enrolled my children in Acellus Academy through Roger Billings Scholarship Program, 7th and 9th. Today I read horrible things about Acellus, they have inappropriate content, they are sexist, racist, a religious sect, ... Did you find any problem entering the University with the Acellus diploma? It seems to be a good school, I am confused by so much bad information. Sounds to be more commercial competition, lobby ... I don't know! ... Thank you!!
As wicked wilfre said there is no problems, I've had my son on it for a year. It is the best homeschooling program that I have had him on so far, most homeschooling programs seem to be watered down this one is not and it has an excellent backlog to where you can see everything your child is doing, it grades everything for you I mean literally has taken so much weight off of my shoulders. I used to have programs that I trusted for math and language arts but not for science and social studies, my kid is even taking coding classes in acellus and guess what I even signed myself up an account so I can learn coding alongside of him, cuz what's the point in being a homeschool Mom if I can't help with my kid needs help. So I need to learn the information too.
It’s so interesting because this program offers far better education than what I’ve seen and experienced with public school. This has to be a joke. Compare for yourself.
Indeed, it is literally so crazy this stuff that they're saying in this video because, we've been using it a year now and haven't had any issues, never heard anything inappropriate, I often sit in on the lessons that my child takes. Not always but I often do. I have to say acellus has been the best program that I have had him on, and I have been home schooling him since the second grade and he's in the 8th this year.
Our kids used it last year and loved it. We just signed up again. The parents see everything their children are doing, that's what love most. It gives parents control.
It is a late comment. My son has autism and had trouble speaking. Public schools was a disaster for special needs kids during COVID time. We discovered acellus. He loves it. They make it easy for him to learn and gives me a guideline to work with him with it.
@@crystalwatson2809I'm thinking about using this for my son he was attacked in highschool more then once for being autistic. I'm thinking about the scholarship program. Are you on that and how is it.
I'm a acellus student I feel way better than public school, I learn way better in my own way and the programs way. It's great and I feel like I improve way better than public school. Thanks acellus!
Sounds to me like the Department of Education doesn’t like the idea of progress through education. Which is undeniably inevitable. In person learning will likely be less needed in the future in general, and unfortunately many educators may find themselves without a role to play. So I understand the concern of a teacher feeling obsolete given these circumstances, however I’m loving the idea of progressive unbiased learning experiences for our children. There were no valid points made as to why Acellus would fail our children.
Yet they will teach your child ALL type of non-academic nonsense in public schools. The parents or teachers MUST ALWAYS BE INVOLVED IN THE CHILD’S LEARNING. You cannot set your kid in front of a computer and leave them up to their own devices. Lazy teachers and lazy parents are the problem. Lazy educators or parent want other people or computer programs to do the work. It don’t work that way. You can use a book or a computer-based program, BUT you have to assist either way to help the child.
It is an accredited program that our children love. They are far more advanced in academic knowledge than their public school peers.... I'm not sure what the inappropriate programing is that they are referring to, I wonder why they didn't specify. Also, the teacher who claims to not have access obviously isn't doing his job as there is a teacher interface to view student learning.... The mother wanting teachers with "content specialists" who does she think Acellus hires, these are public educators working as teachers in parts of the USA in their specified course. They are content specialists, these reviews and complaints seem biased. Why this sudden push to de-face Acellus among a crucial time for distance learning?
I got that impression too, I have my son in acellus he has been doing it for a year, it's the best homeschooling program that I have had him on so far takes out a lot of the guesswork for me, I am able to see everything he does from a backlog, and I am free to sit in on lessons if I wish to which I do sometimes. It grades everything for me, it's absolutely wonderful I don't know what they're even referring to in this video, cuz we have absolutely had no problems.
I used Acellus for 7th grade and I am now in 9th (I currently attend a private high school). After being virtually homeschooled for 2.5 years during middle school, I would like to go back to it for the rest of high school, or at least for 10th and 11th. I liked Acellus and I felt I received a good education. Have these people seen most public schools, especially in lower income towns?
Fr, i really like acellus and their lessons. I’m currently Alg II and I can understand it really well, even though that is above a few years. Acellus overall is very intuitive.
We switched to acellus last month, it was my daughter’s choice. She likes it. She was previously doing edmentum thru her high school. And I honestly don’t see anything great about the current state used edmentum. Thru edmentum she was required to take an on line PE class, which I thought was absurd. A third of science was focused on Darwinism. One Language arts assignment I looked at included comparing 2 articles on sustainable energy - which I consider very political.
The school is still accredited but WASC, says on their website. These claims have absolutely no basis, there were no examples, or proofs to the statements. As someone said in the above comments, it seems like a lobby to de-platform possibly because of competition.
You took the words right out of my mouth, my son's been using acellus for a year, and in my opinion it's the best program ever. Only $25 a month it has taken a lot of weight off of my shoulders, the science social studies math language arts I mean everything seems on par with what you would be learning in public school, I'm not really sure what they're talking about in this video like at all.
Sounds like there is a bias against online learning in this story based upon the belief that only certain organizations or individuals should be allowed to teach children and decide what is taught. Parents should be allowed options and input about how and what their children are taught.
This is the dumbest thing ever im in shock acellus has been nothing but amazing for me i was struggling in school and had barely passed the 6th grade when i started 7th in physical school i already had failing grades in every class
I just landed on this video and I will say I'm equally as shocked as you are, my son has been on acellus for a year now, and it's been a wonderful program, I don't even know what the heck they're referring to in this video. I don't see what they're talking about.
@@Ash3s2ash3s808 it pretty much is the same as power home school. Short multiple choice rwponses but they had longer unit tests. They do have special lessons where they write essays and stuff.
Best program for homeschoolers in my opinion, I don't know what they're even referring to in this video. The claims that they're making sounds crazy, and unfounded because I haven't noticed a darn thing that was inappropriate at this point.
@@crystalwatson2809 I guess that was in Hawaii, but there isn't a lack of rigor, rather traditional public schooling may have too much rigor in everything at all times.
I have my 9 yr old on Acellus right now even while he’s on private school to help supply and fill in the gaps. He absolutely loves it and is quoting things he learns on Acellus and has not quoted one thing that he learned in private school. “Mommy, do you know what a hypothesis is?!…it’s an educated guess!” Only thing he quotes from his PS is what some kid does or said in class…nothing that he learned. So next year we will be going Acellus Academy full time also while we travel the country for 6 months of the year! We don’t want to be tied down to a school calendar while we also learn on the road!! We can visit places he’s learned about, museums, tours of all kinds, etc. A true Roads Scholar!!! 🤣🤗❤️
Just started this year with acellus powerhomeschool wish I found it sooner far better then and my kid learning much more then in my locale public school system.This people in this report hate the program because it takes control away from the board of ed. and teachers unions.
So what I’m understanding is that it the school districts are wanting students to learn on the program but these teachers are concerned because they don’t know where the students are in the learning Or because they I don’t have nothing to do. I did acellus it was good but go off
ive been doing acellus for a couple weeks now and I think its good too...some of these comments are so confusing to me bc I haven't encountered any big glitches in the system like they're saying.
Jesus loves you all he died on the cross for you I pray and I believe that you will find him weather that'd be today or another day. Jesus loves you all AMEN!!!!!!!
A couple of other distance learning online education companies SHOULD BE questioned, also.... .. might wanna look into them-who have corporate locations in Arizona.
What glitches did it have? I'm asking because none of these claims in this video makes any sense to me, my son has been using it for a year now, there's nothing inappropriate that I've witnessed and no glitches that I've seen ?
one time my daughter said "mom you have to see this" then I realized that is was a bad program I made her read it and then she said "miss sweety lips " and I was like no we have to get this program banned everybody was wanting it to be banned so we did vote for it to be banned then i said let's just skip this okay? and she was like "okay" so we skipped it.
I'm not trying to say you're lying but that really does sound like BS to me, my son has been on it for a year now I often sit in on the lessons, I have never heard anything inappropriate, like not one thing. To me it has been the best homeschooling program that I've had him on honestly, and we are going to continue with it throughout high School. He's even been able to catch up because I held him back one year, and he's slightly got behind 2 years ago again because we went through a hurricane and all kinds of stuff, so he's about to be caught up to where he was supposed to be before he ever got held back and before the hurricanes and all that stuff I couldn't be happier.
It sounds like you are discriminating against someone using the term sweetie lips? I think it's an endearing, cute name, so really you should be careful banning something just because you don't like a name. what would you prefer her to be named, what would be more appropriate? Who do you think should be the ultimate decision maker of appropriate character names for kids programming? Is it too feminine for you? As a feminist, I would say that the view you hold that "Sweetie Lips" is in some way inappropriate is an anti-feminist view, as all females should have the right to choose what they like or don't like, and not be told by anyone what they need to view as feminine or not. So, me as a female liking the name and you as a female not liking the name shouldn't have any basis on whether it is a "good" name....
