PETE: My daughter has been prone to occasional migraines and now uses those "blue light" glasses when on the computer but I dont know if that makes a difference long term as far as vision.

Crap like this is why we ended up home schooling.
My oldest daughter took a couple of college classes through the high school, all of her staples through homeschooling, and still had time to work a full-time job.
She MAYBE did 3 hours of school a day (sometimes more, sometimes less, since it's all based on workload and not some predetermined schedule) and ended up with test scores in the 99th percentile and offers to attend college pretty much wherever she wants.
