GBPoor program This program was a waste of money. My daughter was unable to submit assignments most days. She was blocked by a screen that says she was waiting for feedback. The teacher's feedback told her she had many mistakes and submit again with no offer of help to identify problems leading to all the mistakes. Teacher suggested she was not following instructions but she was having a hard time navigating the system. She got sad and discouraged. We came to the program because she needed help to learn how to write sentences. Time4writing was not helpful. The layout is also poor with tiny fonts hard to read.

GBCourse Structured Improperly Everything seem good except for one thing which really impacted us: the cause progression is tightly controlled on a 24-hour cycle between what a student does and the feedback from his or her teacher, so the student really can't do anything before the feedback is received. My son wasted a lot of time every day waiting for the cause on the web to open up so that he could proceed in the course. Really not a good way to structure a course! Unless this issue get fixed, we don't plan to take any course again.

GBMy daughter Ashley My daughter Ashley, enjoyed this writing program. She is a Special Ed student, 8th grade. The course was used to fill the requirements for the state of Maryland Homeschool, Language Arts writing requirements. Ms. Nicole, was her teacher. I appreciated that when she reviewed my daughters assignments for error, she also praised her on how well she was doing. Ms. Nicole, responded to the classwork or my emails within 24 hours, this was really a plus. I look forward to having her take one of the paragraph writing courses during the summer, to help her be ready for the fall 2021/2022 school year. Victoria Gibbs

GBPlatform is a bit difficult to navigate… Platform is a bit difficult to navigate at first and system does not allow you to advance on work when work is pending grading.

GBI would not suggest this course The problem is the marketing of this company encourages you to pay extra to extend the course by having your child lag behind. There is a free 7 day extension offered, but it will not be enough to finish. Although the writing process is good, the 8 week schedule puts pressure on the student to make them think they are behind. Keep in mind, regardless of the learning level, the child is not allowed to progress without receiving feedback from the teacher. With just a few days to completion, they won't be able to finish. Student course completion brings satisfaction, praise and encouragement. Unless you make a big complaint, you will pay quite a bit for a course the child never completed.
