With a lot of complaining about the course that my son is taking, I finally got through someone and my son will not continue with the MARK12 Volume III anymore. What a sign of relief!
No more missed spellings, and trying to guess the correct answers, that the computer say correct. He can finally do lessons that is for his age. I don't mind if he is slow in grasping the concept, we can work on that. Not like working on lessons that there is no fixed but fail.
Maybe we should have spelled "pennies" as "pennys" or "penies," yeah, will be working on that one all day to guess which one is correct.
Let me tell you the wrong answers with the lesson 8 for contraction words. It made the spelling of pennies nothing. The contraction of the words "did not" is not "didn't," ok, in what world? Yes, in MARK12 world. Department of Education what are you thinking?
I don't know what they are thinking when they made this course. Maybe to make the student dummer, in my opinion. Did I say it enough, I hated this curriculum, hated it so much. If it works for you, well, that's good. However, not for us. THey need to pay me to use this one.

K12 Mark12 III Reading
My second oldest son have had problem with talking and now reading. He was a late talker and DH and I weren't worried about it at all. Well, if you ask the so called expert, they would say differently.
Anyhow, we been using K12 as most of my reader know (if any...lol) for 3 years now. Most local school district will say that they set their expectation too high, because the lessons are higher than the local public schools. My son above did not passed the state PSSA (DH and I are not worried, we hate the state testings of any kind) and the school put him with Mark III reading (adaptive remediation) for those who got problem with comprehension and grade level behind (in their opinion).
The program is very nice, because he does not need to read much. Everything is recorded and all he have to do is listen. Well, the activities are also computerize and who ever puts the correct answers on those activities are 1) sleeping, 2) does not know how to spell.
He is already behind with the lesson because he needed to be tested and it takes a while to get some one to do the testing. Then he still need to wait to get the result, then another wait for the materials. But since this is free curriculum I don't have any choice but to wait.
However, getting the answers wrong for a very simple words because someone put the wrong answers on the lessons is simply prostrating. How do they expect a grade level behind student to get ahead with all of these technical issues? I will give the not reading part 10, but the missing recordings, videos, tiles, windows, wrong spellings...let's say the 10 turned to nothing...nada, zilts, zero. I don't like this program one bit.
In conclusion, I rather educate my child in a regular grade level Language Arts in a slower phase than this crap. Mind you the school is getting extra money for each child with disability, and this is the crap they gave my son. Just because someone need to earn a six figure salary a year.
Can someone tell me the correct way to spell "video?"

How about "pennies?"
