I was a teacher for IRD two summers ago. I was not a licensed teacher at the time. They do train their teachers for about two months--putting them in fear of being fired at any moment. Teachers are constantly on edge, because they fear if they do not follow *SCRIPTED* lesson plans, they will not be able to pay their bills. As a person who has gotten her ed degree and has spent time in a real teaching environment, I can tell you this program is a complete scandal. I was driving to four cities around the south, my car loaded with materials for ages 4-adult. I was not specialized on any grade or age level, and neither were any of the other teachers. Do NOT spend your money on this pre-formulated scam. Instead, hire a local tutor or college student who can really recognize the needs of your child.
