MANNINGTON â Glenn Beal has a daughter in fourth grade and another one in fifth grade who have been in the blended learning model this school.
Beal, a bus driver for Marion County Schools, said while his kids have always been good students, this new kind of learning presented a new difficulty, particularly his daughter in fifth grade daughter.
âI was struggling to help my daughters, who had always made honor roll,â Beal said. âWhen we got her first report card, it had three âFâs; it affected her, she cried for hours and broke out in hives.â
