There is no doubt that all is not well with our public school system. This is one reason why many parents are withdrawing their children from the public school system and enrolling in a better educational system like an online homeschooling program.
Many thought that the problem of the public school system is just the issue of funding, and that the Government is not funding them enough. Looking at things critically, one will note that the problem goes beyond funding and into other identifiable issues.
One area to look at is the lack of accountability. Public schools are not really accountable to anyone. Since parents are not paying fees to send their students to these schools, their voice really does not count when it comes to educational decisions being made. When students are not reaching performance levels, what is really being done to address this issue?
We hear daily how funds are allocated to schools, but do parents actually get to see the difference in these programs or the actual effects of such funds on the performances of the students that are being turned out? Are unbiased reports given to parents so they are able to see these changes? Funding being spent on educational programs is not always accounted for. Schooling is almost becoming a wasted venture.
The school systems are politically inclined at the expense of the students. Though parents do not have any say in the running of schools, politicians and business people do. They come up with educational plans that are geared towards promoting their own agenda at the detriment of the future of the students. The old scratch my back and ill scratch yours mentality of thinking!
Another problem students face is a school system program that has a one size fits all mentality. All students are considered to be the same and are taught this way without any consideration for the needs of each child. Students struggling to keep up, fall behind and get lost. This is in contrast to online homeschooling where students are given individual attention catered to their learning needs.
Homeschooling online programs give parents the flexibility and control of their students’ educational paths. Parents design the programs to fit the needs of each student. This makes homeschooling online a more probable solution.
