Tanya,

I am not sure how much time you have on your hands, but the only way that you are going to prove the school wrong about your son is if you work with your son. Although he goes to school, an hour in the evening, perhaps after dinner, quizzing him on lhis alphabet, flash cards are great. You don't even have to buy any flash cards, make your own using index cards and a black marker. One thing I did with my son, who is now 20 and getting ready to graduate from Morehouse in May, 2007, is used cards to associate pictures. I put everything I could think of on the cards. I put vowel sounds on cards and whenever we did anything or when he asked for something, it was always a quiz. They LOVED it! Our everyday life was full of learning and fun. Also, one thing I never factored in was that my son's confidence and esteem shot through the roof. He knew early on that if he just worked at it, he could learn and do anything. Tanya, don't you dare let anyone label your child. All children are able to learn, you just have to discover the methods that fit his learning style. As for home school, I am on the fence about that. Kids who come to me after being homeschooled for as little as one year, seem to suffer in the socialization department. Although they eventually pick it up, home schooled children seem to be a little bit more selfish than chidren that have been in school and around kids the whole time. If you need any tips on how to help your son, I will put together a curriculum specifically for him and give you books and work pages that will help him be the success that I know he already is. Feel free to email me at englishmayjor@yahoo.com for any help.

Hello Mark, funny, that is my husband's name. First, let me say how GREAT it is that your son wants to further his education. I am a teacher and have been for the past 16 years and I can't say if the online would be a bad thing, but attending college in the flesh would be a fantastic thing. Going to college and interacting with students and professors, face to face, and really getting an idea about what lies ahead for your son in the next level of his life. I would really try to convince your son to actually go to college. Why does he want to do it online? Is it because of work? or Does he want to finish fast(er)? One thing your son should know, from everyone that I have ever talked to about online classes, they all say that they are harder than attending the regular class. Perhaps you can take your son to the campus so that he can really see what college life is all about. If you don't have a campus near your home, getting in the car and driving with your son to a college campus can also give you and him a chance to really talk about how you both feel about the situation. Good Luck!!

My son is going to college and is considering getting his bachelor's degree online. Does anyone have children in the same situation and can you give me any advice. So far, the only good web site I have found with articles on online bachelor degree programs and online universities is http://www.usastudyguide.com/bachelors-deg...ne-universities.htm
