Online education

There are many universities and colleges with online courses and degree programs, some accredited, some shady and fly-by-night. We all get their spam.

I recently found out that there are a number of elementary-to-high schools online. Thanks, posters!

Good to know about, especially considering the state of Bogalusa City Schools. A non-comprehensive list:

Stanford University Education Program for Gifted Youth.
BYU independent study
U of Oklahoma Independent High School

There is tuition, naturally. But your teacher will probably not try to indoctrinate you into their religion during geography.

This last one might be too difficult for the pre-college students, and there's no credit or instructor access granted, but it's free:

MIT OpenCourseWare

Happy learning!
