School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>3 4/16/2020I think my colleagues are knowledgeable and hardworking. Some are lazy and inexperienced. I think those students who are disciplined do well in the virtual setting, but many of our students are not disciplined and truly need to enroll in traditional school. I think I would enroll my own children in this school as long as the rigor is in place and the instruction does not focus on teaching to the test. This school provides everything families need in order for students to succeed in the virtual school. It just needs to be more selective about whom to enroll and not enroll in the school.Review Michigan Virtual Charter Academy. Reviews should be a few sentences in length.
