Ms. Brant explains that one common misconception about online learning is that it doesn’t prepare students well for life after school. Actually, the opposite is true. “Many families think that their student is going to be socially deprived,” she reports. However, students who attend Missouri Connection Academy “really must acquire the skill of communication quite quickly.”
If a student has a question or is struggling with something, they learn to reach out and “communicate with teachers,” Ms. Brant says. “I think this is a major skill that they will be able to carry with them once they graduate.”
Outside of school, Ms. Brant enjoys being with her family and hanging out with friends. She especially enjoys spending time with her furbabies, Wiley and Millie.
