I am often a free spirited, crunchy mama. I homeschool to improve the minions lives. We have been using Time4Learning since 2010. Usually, we use T4L as a supplement for Easy Peasy All In One Homeschool (Highschool). This year we decided to shift solely to the upbeat online t4l program. In December we received two weeks of service for $14.95. We assumed they took a Christmas vacation. Surely, our family would be credited those other 15 days. Such was not to be the case. We let that incident go as a glitch (big mistake). My children, especially my autistic 17yr old, has not been able to fully enjoy the program. He cannot log in on a daily basis. He either shuts down or rages against his bedroom furniture. I have to spend hours explaining these down times are not his fault. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME & ENERGY to call T4L every BLEEPING day.
This month, April, takes the cake on how greedy these "people" behave. My family is on one income [typical of homeschoolers]. They billed us TWICE for April, claiming our service outage from March 13th to April 5th is billable. They care nothing for your children. Time4Learning is NOT an education program, but a cash cow. I called VERY upset with our experience. The customer service team acted like a 10 day service extension, was The United States Powerball Jackpot. Do NOT give these "people" your credit card information. I don't really have time to start from scratch for my dyslexic daughter and aspie son. We are at the end of our homeschooling year. My DD suffers from anxiety. I fear cutting off the program will shove her into a dreadful bout. On the other hand, if I don't stop the program, they will keep running my credit card through the roof. My son likes everything to be a video. He doesn't excel without strong entertainment. I feel trapped.
The business portion of T4L is giving me double aneurysms.
