Congrats!
She doesn't flaunt her smarts because she knows it might isolate her, but she is always willing to help others and she does, therefore, she has lots of friends. She isn't one to make others feel small in her eyes. She's a good kid.

Re: My daughter and academics...need advice.

Heavenly One,

I have a 17 yr old cousin who homeschools who is signed up for some kind of online university where he'll have half of his degree done through CLEP by the time he graduates high school. He studies and just passes the tests for all his core classes. I'm going to email him and see what that's called. He will have his Bachelor's by the time he's 20.

Sounds like a great problem to have HO. Maybe you can advise me on how to get it.

This other stuff with my girl, well, I'm clueless!!

If only there was a course in common sense. She seems to be lacking in this area, but I think that's typical for extremely intelligent people....LOL!

Cool. Let me know.

The good thing about going to college while in HS is that the HS pays for college courses! I don't know if they do the same for online courses unless it's done through the local college, which might be possible.

This is the email my aunt sent me:

Quote:
It is www.collegeplus.org. Give them this code: "4808". If they sign up
using this code they will get $50 off their tuition.

CollegePlus is a coaching program only. You sign up yearly for coaching
(the first year price is the highest). The college they use is Thomas
Edison State College (TESC), located in New Jersey. TESC is
regionally-accredited, the highest.

CollegePlus keeps up with TESC's requirements and helps you study for
your tests, choose the right degree, study the appropriate tests for
that degree, and enroll in TESC. If you follow the test-taking schedule
of CollegePlus you should have that 4-year degree in 2 years.
He seems really happy with it. He studies 3-4 hours a day, but to have that degree out of the way? priceless. Sounds like your daughter's on the same timetable.

Re: My daughter and academics...need advice.

Mercy, I'm going to have my daughter read what you wrote to see what she thinks. She might not have a clue either, but then again, she might. I'll let you know. Thanks.
