But for some of the other schools I was considering I think an online class would have been as effective, and possibly more effective.MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-59035661283764960162015-01-25T20:17:05.705-08:002015-01-25T20:17:05.705-08:00I learned a lot from reading this post.

We have been thinking about the same for the girls (T has to go to a bricks and mortar uni because he wants to do something in science and that's harder to pursue online over here.<br />I too look forward to your follow up posts.claireshomeeducationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697524025087880484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-32266997920899389802015-01-24T08:05:12.951-08:002015-01-24T08:05:12.951-08:00Here's another pro in my book...

This would allow him access to additional degrees while still gaining the benefits from online atmosphere. I say go for it!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-35024545648634726252015-01-24T03:20:48.435-08:002015-01-24T03:20:48.435-08:00Thank you for sharing your decision-making process...Thank you for sharing your decision-making process. It is very helpful to read (even though I'm in the UK and our educational options here differ from yours in the US). We are pretty much considering the same (online) options so I'll be following your posts on this topic with interest. :-)Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-13893175330854553232015-01-23T22:39:56.807-08:002015-01-23T22:39:56.807-08:00I've got a few years before this is relevant t...I've got a few years before this is relevant to me, but it's a lot of good information for me to think on.<br /><br />I would agree there is a bit of a stigma left from the early years of online learning.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.com
