My daugther, a high school sophomore, is on block schedule for an enriched year-long U.S. History course. As she is a violinist, we need to find another way to meet her learning requirements so that she can carve out more time for practice. I am looking for a Howard Zinn type of online course for history for her for the spring semester. Any information you can provide is most appreciated!
