Except, of course, the parents that do not have internet access. I need to take this into account when I provide information to my future students' parents. I am not sure what the alternatives should be. I plan to give a survey for the students to take home so parents can choose the best way to keep them informed.

I plan to use the internet to post student grades, if it is available, but will not be able to depend on it totally. I probably will have a high percentage of parents without internet access even at work.

With a student in high school, I constantly check the website to monitor progress and follow up on open assignments. (And why do some teachers still not post their grades on line while others do it assiduously?) Monitoring has become so much easier now that grades can be monitored at all times. There really is no excuse for parents to take a pass on this critical responsibility.

Don't go to the University of Phoenix online if you need financial aid

What might be confusing when you sign up for University of Phoenix online is the financial aid. They will tell you it will take until your third class to get your reimbursement, and it takes every bit of that. This is because you are not considered a full-time student for your first three classes.

I had one of their sales people say, "oh, it could be during your second class." Don't believe it! They are trying to sell you something. Even if they seem really nice, don't trust it.
