Would they gain more from an Online Education?
Online homeschool programs, if properly designed, is education that prepares your student for a better future. But, what is a better future and who is it better for? Education should give your child the platform for learning whatever they want to learn. The basics, as we called them in the Dark Ages, the ABCs. Beyond that, it should not remove their desire to learn more. Learning is a life-time pursuit. We should never stop!
What kills the desire? Perhaps your son or daughter is not yet ready for school in a social aspect, but they are really clamoring to learn. Why put extra stress on them which may carry on throughout their life? Or, your child is a quick learner. They are advanced for their age in knowledge and maturity. They are strong-willed and getting bored so they are acting out in class. Homeschool has a major benefit in developing your child and their self-discipline no matter what age. They learn at their own pace. They are held accountable to perform to a specific, and most times, higher level than their peers who attend public school.
Benefits of an Online Homeschool Program
They will receive a personalized education. The parents and teachers will work together on a plan that will be put into action with the child’s best interest in mind. The flexibility of the program also means better flexibility on the schedule for the whole family. So if a parent is unable to teach a specific subject or class, the online homeschool program is there to offer support to both the parent and the child. It demonstrates a united front with the child, a True Teamwork effort between parents and teachers.
Several of my grandchildren have been homeschooled. One went to a eastern, well-known college to study filmmaking, which he started as a preteen. His films won at Youth Film Festivals in Hollywood and San Francisco. Another grandson started learning Chinese in preschool and competed against adults, and WON, much to their chagrin! He spent a study year in Croatia. My daughter-in-law wasn’t prepared to teach them all of this! But the support of the homeschooling network was there to support them.
College Prep Courses
Preparing for College is also a great benefit of an online homeschool program because the stress levels are significantly lower for the students. This is due to the flexibility of the schedule and classes. Many times, homeschool children are finishing their classes early and starting the next level before their peers. They even will organize trips to museums, zoos and other educational locations that many public schools are removing from their budgets. Your homeschooled child will probably get more physical activity inside your own home because you will get creative in doing so. The support for parents of online homeschool programs are in place to help you be creative.
Hit the Road with Your Online Homeschool Program
The growth of the internet has unleashed an onslaught of new innovations. One of those is Online Schooling. You can take your classes anywhere you have the internet (which is just about anywhere now). Take your vacation or visit your family when the rest of the world is in school. No need to be checking in with the teacher to make sure you have all your assignments and required homework!
We all learn differently. Your kids are figuring out how they learn best and you’re learning with them. You can make adjustments if the first method isn’t working. Experiment until you find the right formula. Maybe the learning differs from subject to subject. Teachers and parents can work together to make it all come together. And throw in a tutor or two if it looks to be beneficial. This builds a stronger foundation and makes for a stronger bond between family and teacher.
- Kids have different needs
- Short-term or long-term
- Pick classes for all day or part day
