OnlineDegree vs SDC vs Shmoop vs Other Options?

See link for the free/cheap options: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Fr..._of_Credit

Also, in regards to exclusively homeschooling your daughter, I would reconsider, is she having issues with the 9th grade level courses?  Most schools have programs for students, such as a career prep or trades program, she may be interested in those.  I would use homeschooling to supplement or accelerate/compact her educational goals.

The main thing is getting her past high school, the extra AA or BA during high school is the icing on the cake...It's great that you're discussing things with your hubby and coming to a conclusion that the local CC/Uni's and Big 3 may be options.

Thank you BJ!  What a wealth of knowledge you are along with the other regular group members!

Btw, I guess I was a little too harsh in describing my daughter's situation.  While she does have moderate to severe dyslexia, she can read, write, think and function in an academic setting.  She needs more time than most.  She also struggles quite a bit with math but that is because she lacks the foundation necessary to be successful in high school and college math courses.  She's agreed to be tutored to get up-to-speed.  It will definitely be a challenge to get her through her math and some science courses but I think she can get through the other courses without a huge challenge.  No doubt she will need more than the alloted time of one semester for some high school and some college courses.  That's where I hope non-trad credits will have more value than my husband will currently admit they have.
