I’ve seen some teachers who get their higher education such as Masters, PhD’s, etc while they are still teaching in grade schools.  If they get their PhD’s, they’re generally moving up to administrative positions or onto colleges they hope.  But then they have to publish among other things.  But online degrees can often be valuable to them for the time factor alone and for the fact that they can reach a program in another state that they qualify for, but don’t live near.  I’ve seen teachers across the United States do it, and they usually publicize it to their students that they are, I’m not entirely sure why to be honest.  They often do all their classes online, and the online degrees and regular schools are working harder than ever to give them every single class they need online.  They of course still have to take their tests in a registered center as well as writing their thesis at the end.  But it has all become very convenient, especially as compared to the old days of only physical education locations.  But either way, it has certainly helped millions to not only get their Bachelors, but to go onto even higher education levels for their greater future success.
