Is Home Schooling on the Internet the New Wave of Education?
Do you have children in
school - or are you planning for it soon?
Have you asked yourself if public schools
are really doing all they can to improve your child
and educate him or her for the real world?
Do you try to stifle desires to send
them to private schools because of the cost or the perceived
'elitist' mentality?
Have you ever had a day arrive when
your child comes home worn out, agitated and frustrated
and thought to yourself "I'd love to keep my child
home and teach him myself - if only I had the time."
Now, maybe you can. Here are some of
the options.
PRIVATE SCHOOLS COST MONEY
Yes, private schools are sought by the
wealthiest and most privileged of society. Although
some would likely debate the benefits of private schooling
over public schooling most parents probably have considered
the option and would jump at the opportunity to give
private schooling to their children if it appeared.
Unfortunately, for most families, private
schooling is simply not a reality. At a cost of $7000
and upwards, the ability to afford such education is
beyond their means. Religious affiliated schools are
less expensive, but still not an option for many families
with a of cost several thousands per year.
HOME SCHOOLING TAKES PARENTS TIME
Traditional home schooling where the
parent is the supervisor of the child's work is another
option. With fantastic resources and helpful teachers
to assist, it has been a form of education that can
be the answer to parents who want the one-on-one education
that public schools cannot provide.
Home schooling has been the basis of
society for thousands of years - long before schools
came about. However, in today's society it can be difficult
for parent's to maintain the supervision of assignments
that is needed for home schooling. This may become even
more of an issue as a child gets into the higher grades
and parents are unfamiliar with the curriculum or are
working and do not have as much time to assist them.
INTERNET HOME SCHOOLING
A new addition to education, the internet
is now providing the ability for parents to give their
child an enhanced curriculum, control over education,
and online support. This will all cost much less than
private school at an average cost of $900 per year.
Older children can benefit from online
teachers who are able to supervise the work - a huge
benefit for working or single parents. Many accredited
Internet schools offer similar courses to those available
in private schools.
Joel Turtel, who is the author of "Public
Schools, Public Menace: How Public Schools Lie To Parents
and Betray Our Children," says that busy working
parents can give their kids a quality, low-cost education
at home using the Internet. “K-12th grade Internet
schools can take most of the homeschooling burden off
parent's backs.”
Perhaps this is the answer you've been
looking for.
