college level online classes?
my segundo, who was absolutely not cut out for factory school, but had to go anyway, survived one semester of high school. he took g.e.d. prep classes at the local community college and passed with mostly flying colors. we have been bugging him to get into school, like back where he took the classes, or whatever.
we kind of have a rule here that kids have to go to a cheap school for the first 2 years, expenses paid, then we can talk about a big ticket school. he has been bugging that he wants to get started at an online school. not what we really want, but know that he will stick to it better if it is his choice.
so, he applied to the u of p inline school. it is $1k per 9 week/3 hr class. you can take 2 at a time. no books.
this is over the "cheap school" line, although no books helps. but, we want to let him own the thing, ya know.

so, do people have experience with this particular school? online college in general? how did you do? have trouble transferring credits? (i assume if he goes the whole 2 years and gets an a.a. that that will transfer whole. doesn't always work that way, but mostly.)

please keep kicked if you would. i have a busy day, but will check in around dinner time.
