My son enjoyed your Short Story class so much. His writing improved a lot. Thanks for your expertise and well-designed classes! The first thing he did on Wednesday morning was log in to the class website to see the new lesson. Mom of 6th grade student Sunnyvale, California

I want to thank you for the great parent communication you send out. It is very helpful to me, and I truly appreciate it. Thank you also for your thoughtful comments on [my daughter's] work. She has always been a reluctant writer and after she wrote the news article assignment, she said that she really enjoyed that type of writing and that she felt good about it. Wow, she has never said anything like that! Mom of 8th grade student Broadview, Montana

Following each class session, parents receive an individual evaluation of student progress.
