Mr. Tucker you have been very helpful to my two sons during our homeschool journey thank you so much 😊
We thank you for your comment. It is very encouraging, and helpful for us, as well as others that read this.

Could you ask your older daughter (or both daughters) to do a video of her experiences with FLVS, explaining details of her experiences, how long she's been with FLVS and homeschooling in general, pros/cons review of FLVS, how many hours per day does she spend doing school work, how many courses does she take at a time, how long does it take her to complete a course, is she currently dual-enrolled in college/university, how did she deal with socialization, feelings of isolation (especially if she started homeschooling young), loneliness issues, what extra curricular activities has she done, etc, etc. We would love to hear a review directly from an articulate, confident student like your daughter. That would be unique and it's something that is very limited and hard to find online. Thank you and great video! Very informative. If she decides to do it, please let her do all the talking. We want to hear directly from a student. Thanks again!
Excellent suggestion!! Thank you so much for the feedback. We will definitely do it.
Tucker Educational Services Could u also do a video on the 18 credit high school diploma
Thank you so much for your videos, they've helped me decide my future high school education! I moved from Florida to Russia not too long ago and wasn't able to complete the necessary exam requirements for FLVS Full Time so ended up registering with my county's home school office and switching to Flex but was planning to do my senior year with Full Time because I thought no university would accept me with a home school diploma, but that would mean I still needed travel to the US every year to complete the graduation requirements such as the EOC's and FSA and everything. My counselor wasn't helping much and I was stressing a lot over this. Thanks to you I understand that Flex is the best option for me and graduating as a home school student is no worse than graduating as a public school student! THANK YOU

Hi, I hope you read this. It's been 11 months since you wrote this. How did it workout for you. I have the same fears you did. I want to homeschool my son in FLEX but was concerned about the diploma. But it seems like it is not important.
boi I’m literally moving to Brazil this Sunday and like I’m freaking out about all of this, this comment and video helped out a lot
I wanna say you have been very helpful with the flex or flvs full time because my son is ese student autistic who has been abused by teacher's and students he don't want to be around that environment so I took him out of public miami dade school to tty the virtual thankyou
Tiffany Thompson, We thank you for the encouraging words. If you need anything at all, any time, please let us know. You encouragement is very helpful for everyone here, and our sharing with eachother will help everyone, including the "schools," hopefully!
thank you for your videos. we've been using flvs for home-school for three years now (flex), and we really like it. I had often worried about the diploma dilemma, but now I don't need to. So for that, I thank you! When we first started this home-school journey, our local elementary school (where I had just removed my 2 daughters) denied my older daughter access to the extra-curricular art class that she had been attending in an after-school program. It was frustrating. The local HS office at our education dept told me that my daughters could only attend after school sports or music/band. I had heard that I could enroll in kids in HS activities, but I had not tried because of my experience with that Elementary school principal denying us access.

We appreciate all the information, God bless you xo
Your videos have been SO helpful! We haven’t started yet. My biggest question is how to keep transcripts as a homeschool Flex FLVS parent? I plan to print completed assignments from FLVS to keep for the portfolio.. any advice on transcripts?
First of all I would like to say thank you for this information. If you are doing FLVS Flex, How do you send a transcript to a college?
We thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement. We also thank you for participating here with an excellent question.
Just put together the "Official Transcripts," for the student yourself, which will include all the documentation from the FLVS "Unofficial Transcripts/accumulated transcripts."
We can help you with all of this:

Thank you so much for the information! Our daughter is in 11th grade, adhd, mental health struggles and public school is just a nightmare for her! 7 classes, ridiculous amounts of busy work and just discouraged and distracted with all the drama and craziness that goes on!! Teachers not teaching!!!! Just passing out work to do and sitting at their desk!! I teach public school 2nd grade dual language and bust my behind actually modeling, practicing and teaching. I have enrolled in Flex tonight but how do I go about her enrolled at her high school? I assume I go withdraw her?? Help?
Does flvs flex effects your official gpa?? Do colleges look at flvs flex seriously
We are considering FLVS FLEX for my daughter.. What she would like to know is if she will still be able to spend some time at the school campus also?? Like for example, a few days out of every month..?? Awesome videos.. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your help! Just curious how do the pert test work?
as a flvs flex student, i dont know when something says I've graduated I'm going into junior year and I wanna know if I have to do all the credits or something that says I've graduated, I'm just a little confused with that
why do you choose to home school your children?
So right now I’m in 11th grade, if I do 12th grade classes right now while in 11th grade will I still get the diploma from my current high school or no?
CoverageGames good question... I hope they give us an answer
Ypui can only be registered in ONE form of education - Home / Private / Public - and graduate from THERE.
If you complete the required credits at the school you will get your FL St. diploma. No one will ask you for it, unless you apply to be a flight attendant(?).
Register as a Home Education Student with the county school office personnel, and graduate as a homeschool student and get a diploma.

Is FLVS FT the exact same curriculum as Flex? I believe I was told that FT may have live lessons where Flex does not?
We thank you for your question and feedback. Please forgive us for the delay with this reply. FLEX has live classes and tutoring sessions, etc. and the matter of fact is that the FLEX teachers are MUCH more accessable and more helpful than the Full Time FLVS teachers, generally speaking, from the opinion of 100's of FLVS students.
FLVS Full Time is a 'train wreck!'
So your saying I can graduate highschool via flvs flex?
Good question! Thank you.
Yes. Absolutely. The curriculum of flex and full time are the same; FL public school. The credits are the same. You can do everything the same, though with flex, working on your own schedule, you can do more, faster than full time.
Full time can issue a FL state diploma, and flex issues certificates of completion. The parents of homeschool students issue the diplomas. AND, no university, college, tech school, etc. asks for a diploma! They ask if you graduated and they ask for transcripts, college entrance exam scores, etc. If a student has college credits as a dual enrolled high school graduate, the university may not even ask for test scores.
Homeschool directors (parents), just like private school directors, issue the transcripts, diplomas, etc. totally legitimate, legal, and accepted by universities, etc.
The important thing to do is to find out what a university, college, tech school, etc. requires for the high school graduate to have done, and on their transcripts, to be accepted into their university, because a DIPLOMA means nothing to them. NOTHING!
FLEX is the way to get it done quicker and better. The FLEX teachers are better (my opinion from experience and lots of home education evaluations) and everything about it is better.

The Differences Between FLVS Full Time and Flex Explained:
CLICK>> ua-cam.com/video/yDHxYanFsIg/v-deo.html
My daughter has been in public school since K and has not had many issues until high school where there has just been so many educational issues. She was an A honors student who has had huge drop in grades due to overcrowding at her school, one and 1/2 hr classes (challenging to sit that long if you are antsy kid) disrepestful staff and teachers! She is in 11th grade.. finishing this term but I want her To start the flex program in January. my question is when she starts in January do her credits from high school get rolled over into her flex program?? not even sure if I’m wording that right actually. And also my concern is her not getting a high school diploma because a lot of the full-time virtual schools seem
to stress that it’s not the same
Michelle, sorry for the delay in replying to you. Here is some info that will hopefully help you figure it out.
FIrst of all, ALL homeschooled students in Florida get a diploma. It's actually called a Homeschool Completion Affidavit and this is the legal graduation document that according to FL statutes must be accepted as proof of graduation by all FL state colleges and universities. That is because in Florida, homeschooling is considered equal to public and private school.
So, anyone who tells you that the homeschool diploma is not a real diploma, or is somehow "less" is misinforming you and doesn't know Florida education law.
Secondly, any credits that your daughter earned at her public high school will transfer to her homeschool transcript which YOU will provide. That is because when you send a letter of intent to the county, YOU become the school official of your school in your home. YOu also become the guidance counselor. As such, your parent-issued transcript is considered official, and any credits that she earns while homeschooled will appear on it, as well as any that have transferred from her previous school.
When you homeschool you can use any curriculum you choose. Some parents choose to use FLVS Flex as one curriculum choice. YOu can use Flex for one course, or as many courses as you choose. However, by using FLVS Flex it is important to understand that FLVS Flex is NOT your child's school. Your homeschool is their school, and Flex is simply one curriculum you use. It can be the only one you use, but even so, it will never be your child's school. Your child's school of record will always be your school - your homeschool. :)

The parent issues a diploma ? Colleges and schools are going to look at the as a lesser value correct ?
We thank you for your question and your feedback/input here on our educational channel.
First, most importantly, NO higher education institute (university/college/techical university, etc.) EVER asks to see a diploma, EVER!
So, NO, absolutely NOT. Home edcuation is a legal and totally viable educational choice. Higher educational institutions consider a home eduction graduate much more ready for their level than a public education graduate, generally speaking. Home education graduates have higher college intrance exam scores, generally speaking. Better study habits, better manners, and actually graduate and finish the university degree, compared to public school graduates.
They ask for transcripts and/or college instrance exam scores.
