Honestly, I don't know that I'd say they are relative "strengths" so much as that she is one of those kids who was born old-- and acquired adult level literacy skills quite young. So history and literature just sort of made sense to her. Not sure how else to explain that one.

Math online. Hmm. Well, this has been VERY challenging, as she is not autodidactic enough for anything that we've tried to truly be enough on its own. She's needed parental inputs for math, just because she seems to need a live teacher to bounce things off of. A tutor would have worked, also, if we'd found someone that we could have had working with her (for other reasons that didn't work out).

We were looking-- just across the board-- at in-state e-tuition rates of about $175-600 per quarter hour, depending upon the institution in question. This seemed VERY steep to me, given what students get for this kind of $.
