I have taken courses from them and am attempting to do one now. You have to pick and choose, but some are very good.

To meet the math and computer preqs., I recommend Khan Academy and CodeAcademy.

I am a regular learner on this site, great selection of courses, and easy to fit around Lit time.

 

[JinSun]

Agreed.

I'd fap to that.

That's good, I am trying to be a wallflower.

I was hoping this was a teacher porn thread to celebrate the end of another school year.

I am so disappointed.

So what sort of recognition do you get? I'm perusing the site right now and I'm not seeing anything that separates this from, hell, Dolf saying I'm her favorite poster. (I'm not but that's hardly the point)

recognition? last paycheck comes two weeks from now and then two months of nothing but hoping the ones I flunked go off to some other school next year.

Don't teachers usually get summer jobs?

Some, not me. I've got enough going on without another job.

Nothing is free. Someone has to pay.

While that's technically true it's often an unimportant detail Dream. And when it comes to internet stuff really often times nobody is really paying. But you already knew that.

My 666th post was spent talking to you.

Coincidence?

I think not.

shut up! this isn't the obama way, one must rack up hundred of thousands of dollars in debt then demand debit forgiveness

You didn't look hard enough. Many courses test, grade and give certificates. Not as impressive as a degree, but still looks good in a CV.

It could not possibly be a coincidence. I would not go out if I were you tonight, stay in, keep your bible close and watch something godly on television.

The only ones I'm seeing for that aren't free, hell they aren't even cheaper than the local CC but maybe I'm looking at all the wrong ones in my random clicking.

The ones I'm seeing...
You get a free statement of achievement or, if you want to pay 30something $, you can get it verified, proving you completed all the work yourself.

Someone has to pay for the website. If it is an education site someone has to monitor it and set up the course of instruction, as well as grade the work. Someone, somewhere, is paying for it.

Well a free statement doesn't do me any good. 30 something isn't too bad, the first bunch I clicked on were 50+ but then I started stumbling over 30's. And I'm not even seeing how highly rated these verifications are. It seems a bit scammy to me at a glance.

Lots of people volunteer their time especially for good causes. Which is beside the point, if we can hide the costs well enough it's just fine. Quit yer bitchin.
