Week 14: Bunny Slippers in First Period

I was a driven student with absolutely no desire to take the required health class in high school. Sure, I went through the motions and took PE, but...health? I know how STDs work and since that was pretty much all they desired to hammer home, I was pretty confident that I could function in society without this class. While I normally wouldn't turn down an easy A, I certainly regretted not being able to take another AP class instead to boost my GPA. So I did what any other obnoxiously competitive  kid would do -- I took health online.

This week in class, we explored how not only are classes offered for high schools and colleges, but entire degrees are available via strictly online classes. Colleges like University of Phoenix and public school programs like Florida Virtual School allow students to connect to the classroom without having to leave the comfort of their rooms -- which is excellent for returning students working full-time jobs or who cannot otherwise attend classes regularly.
