"The information provided on the document does not match the information on the student's application." Apparently, they are so fussy that they don't allow for any variation, so I had things rejected for such trivial matters as (according to various agents) using an initial for my child's middle name, or not using anything at all, excluding the suffix of my last name, and including my middle initial. This happened with almost every form I had to fill out - even when my name matched my name on the application, and even when I completed it per agent instructions. It wasn't even about the signature itself (which I would've blown a gasket about because no one tells someone how to sign their name). The inane fools in the DPT declared things like: - "The document is not signed by the student's legal guardian as it was listed on the application." I signed it, but because the form is not explicit on how I fill in my name next to my signature, they couldn't accept it. All told, I think at least 12 people were directly (on the phone with me) or indirectly (asked to help) involved. Some of the phone calls listed above involved more than one person and most of them couldn't get anything accomplished.

I've spent the past week talking to admissions agent after agent trying to get documents that had nothing wrong with them approved (times rounded). Many of them admitted that they often get complaints about document rejections. Those people are stuck in the middle between the clients and the Document Processing Team (DPT) and seem to have little to no control over the situation, and most of the agents don't even seem to be able to get things resolved. Overall a good place to start.Admissions Sucks Because of Document Processing Team Incompetence Khan for math and Easy Peasy for the rest. I use Discoveryk12 for spelling, art and keeping track of where we should be. They got bored of it really fast and I didn't feel like they were really learning anything. While it is something the kids could do on their own, they mostly watched videos and were sent to Wikipedia a lot for reading/research. We tried it for the first few months of homeschooling. It was WAY to much read an article on Wikipedia then write about it. We tried it for a little bits or middle and high school. Heidiĭiscoveryk12 is privately funded and they don't follow common core. So if you signed up a kindergartner, they'd give him kindergarten stuff, but if he was a first grade reading level, it didn't let you adjust that, but I think they may have been fixing that. When I signed up, there was no way to jump around. The kindergarten had a lot of really old videos I thought. I use it as an occasional supplement to what I am already doing, but at least for kindergarten I would not use it by itself. A lot of it is, "Read this wikipedia article about whales and write about them." They ha ve a lot of YouTube videos - some are good, but some are so dumbed-down that not even my three-year-old likes watching them. I can't speak for any of their other grades, but I don't think much of the kindergarten program. I signed up my kindergartener at the beginning of the school year.
