PHP, slow

Is there any way to avoid the slowdown on the PHP section? I’m using it to teach a group of students and it is affecting their progress.

Unfourtunately, ive had that problem too but you have to go through it @mrhowardmvpa. If its really affecting thier progress you could consider https://www.codeschool.com/ or https://teamtreehouse.com/ Or the best option you got outside of codecademy is to do it by Youtube viedos. I would recomend CodeDamn viedos like this one(As it is preety new):
