Outschool is really hit or miss. There are basically no requirements for the "teachers" so it can be anyone. Which is as not a bad thing as it sounds. My daughter had an amazing high schooler that taught her some art, beyond my abilities. But we also had some, supposedly "qualified" per their bio to teach school, but they were horrible at using Zoom, technology illiterate, and had a aggressive, rude personality that I turned off the computer after listening to five minutes of her interactions. And then there are clueless, but harmless teachers that can't keep the zoom call on topic and so what winds up happening is a very shallow overview of the lesson topic - which could have been taught by the parent in like 2 minutes.
The best classes were run by legit teachers that had a very structured, fast moving class so the kids could anticipate what was going to happen next. The went over the rules and the basic structure at the beginning of the call so everyone was on the same page. But, in my experience, that happened with 2 out of like 50 teachers we tried.
