I do not like to think of distance learning as a substitute for college. Distance learning is college too. It can serve certain segments of the population very well.

Education > Reading & Writing Skills Which is a better way to teach children to read: Whole language or phonics?: 16 of 23
I had seven children. They all learned to read before kindergarten. The earliest was 18 months. I taught them the sounds of the letters first. Then I taught them words that started with each letter.

Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Can second marriages work?: 66 of 87
Every marriage is a challenge. If you've learned anything from your first marriage then your second marriage has a good chance. If you have allowed enough time between ending a marriage and remarrying, you have a very good chance. Marriages are made in the way people relate and communicate. It is also about what the expectati... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Does the press pick presidents?: 35 of 45
