My dd18 took an online course last year, when gas was really high (the tech college is an hour away). She and we were pleased with the course, and we also appreciated the savings in time and gas. It's obvious why online education is becoming so popular! Thanks, Michele, for stopping by. My dd18 took an online course last year, when gas was really high (the tech college is an hour away).

I have to agree with you that colleges are certainly not what they used to be, and due diligence is definitely needed when contemplating one. But what I agree with you most and am so thrilled to see you mention is the online education option. It is the future of education and has grown by leaps and bounds over the last several years. I have found that for homeschoolers online education is a vital tool, and even a substitute for some families. There are endless options out there for higher education online, but there are new developments in the middle and high school level online academies as well. Just thrilled to see you mention the option. Excellent post!
