| Home School vs. Cyber School |
| Are you currently cyber-schooling and not as satisfied as you thought you would be, or are you trying to decide between cyber-charter school and traditional home schooling? |
| |
| Why
Some Parents Choose Cyber School |
|
Some parents are drawn to cyber-charter school because they want their child to be educated at home, but the thought of learning what they should teach and what materials to use seems too overwhelming. They enroll in a cyber-charter school because the curriculum has already been chosen and they take comfort in the support of an assigned teacher. Having been designed by professional certified teachers, it seems that their child should get a good education. |
| |
|
What They Discover |
|
Although cyber-charter school does eliminate some of the institutional school problems like the
inability to concentrate, safety issues, and
poor socialization, unfortunately, it does not
allow for |
| the real advantages of home schooling. Cyber-charter school is public school at home. Children must conform to a one-size-fits all system.
Some parents find that they spend so much time trying to accomplish their assigned tasks that there is no time left to study topics their child is interested in. Instead of being able to instill a love for learning in their children, parents find themselves rushing them to simply "get through the material," |
|
|
"Now we have
time to study
what my son
is
really interested in!"
|
|
|
|
| and "get their work done" so they can record attendance and
get their completed tasks to their assigned
teacher.
As parents work with their children every day, it
doesn't take long to get to know their
abilities, to understand how they think, to know
which subjects they need more time with, and so
forth.
They discover each of their children's
strengths, weaknesses and learning styles.
After awhile many parents become unhappy with
the lack of flexibility in the cyber-charter
system.
Having the freedom to teach their children
according to their individual needs becomes
more and more important. Parents'
confidence in their ability to educate their
children grows. In fact, most parents come
to realize that they could have home schooled
traditionally all along, but their initial fear
kept them from the opportunity. |

The Advantages of Traditional
Home Schooling |
|
You are free to design an
educational program that
best suits your family. Take advantage
of as
|
|
|
"If
I think we should stop
and focus on multiplication
facts for a whole
week,
then that's what we do.
And
it works!" |
|
|
many field trips and
outside the home experiences as you
would like. You can choose curriculum,
and activities that match your child's
learning style and abilities. You can
balance the workload so your child has
time to focus on a weak area or to
pursue his talents and interests. Often, subjects can be combined among siblings,
allowing more time for family
togetherness. More time together
makes it easier
|
|
| to take
advantage of "teachable moments" and
pass on your own beliefs and worldview. |
