**Those who are competing in sports or other pursuits that require a great deal of time.
**Those who are looking for a way to avoid the peer pressure, drugs, and other distractions of their local high school.

I’ve a fan of online learning. I’m a fan of ALL kinds of learning, and here at Free Agent U, we don’t get into the whole my-way-or-the-highway approach. We embrace all of the options and put together our own perfect blend of education opportunities, experiential learning, travel, volunteering and more.
Life is rich. We have so many great options when it comes to getting an outrageously relevant education. The only reason to follow one prescribed path is if you’ve taken a look at all the possibilities and decided to immerse yourself in what you believe is your very best option.
Otherwise—-your role as a student is to explore, and your job as a parent or mentor is to help your student discover the tools, media, methods, instructors, venues and options available.
Get out and see how you might incorporate whatever inspires you into your own education plan.
As a Free Agent, you get to choose.
Cool, huh?
