I don't have any experience with Connections and never really considered a full time online program because my 11-year-old son with motor dyspraxia and dysgraphia needs more flexibility than I think a program like this would allow.
My son doesn't need to spend as much time as other kids on things like vocabulary or reading or spelling or history because he is at a much higher level for those subjects and he learns them on his own. He needs to spend more time on things like writing (because of the dygraphia) and math and with homeschooling we can use books that he likes and teach to his learning style. If at some point these books are no longer working for him we can change to something else, even in the middle of the school year.
If my son has a migraine or needs to take the day off for any reason, it isn't a problem so there is less stress. He learns more when there is less stress.
