Do employers really acknowlede them? Would i have a real masters degree? I need to know because if they are real then it would be ideal for me with a young son and another on the way. I want to get my masters in education, would i be able to teach in Louisiana with that?

Some are scams, some are real. Some are even quite good, but the quality of education just isn't the same as being in a real classroom.
Employers will not give an online degree the same respect they will give to a degree from a real university. I mean, would you be more impressed by a Master's degree from Hicksville Teach-o-rama or a Bachelor's degree from Harvard University?
Consider using online courses as a supplement, not a replacement, for your studies. Perhaps enroll at a real college part-time, and the virtual college part-time.

A lot of traditional colleges now offer online degree programs, and I would strongly urge you to look into those before signing up with a purely online university. I'm not suggesting that they offer a master's in education, but if you had an online degree from someplace like LSU, no one would differentiate between that and other LSU degrees. If you got it from U. of Phoenix or Kaplan or someone like that, there are a number of employers who are suspicious of the quality of these degrees.

Try to avoid them. Go to a real college. Some of them are fake. Some are real but worse than an actual university

I would recommend the University of Phoenix, I didnt take it but I have friends who have and they liked it. It is big, has huge offices in phoenix and has its name on a football stadium, they are safe. But there are bad things period about online schools.
