Parents: Is Your Public School System a Hindrance to Your Child?
Most students start to drift away from school, because they have dwindling interest in the way they're being taught and what they are being taught. Public education has been notorious for turning out future employees and followers. While private institutions churn out the leaders and decision-makers of our country. Fact of the matter is, most of us can't afford to send our kids to the top private schools. We try to do what's best for our children with what we've got. When even those efforts are undermined by the public-school system, the up-hill battle to keep our kids on the right track is compounded ten-fold.
Fortunately, there are education systems that help supplement the public-school learning process(or lack thereof). Why not do some research and locate the right tools to help you keep ahead of all the forces that seek to devalue and hamper your child's growth. It's hard enough trying to instill the appropriate values and work ethic in our kids. It is vital that we do whatever is necessary to ensure that we, ourselves, are not contributing to the same neglect and inattention rampant in public schools today. There's no reason why your child needs to settle for less. A small amount of effort, on your part, could mean the difference between mediocre and amazing.

Post a CommentPlease Read my article "Why I Prefer Homeschooling My Child? " Public schools have become breeding grounds for crime, violence and sexual promiscuity.
"maybe you're sick and tired of having your child simply participating in the education "process", but not actually receiving one?" Or creating one... one of the best professors I ever had said that "teachers do not teach, they facilitate learning"... an educators job is to inspire, encourage, and guide learning. This is not what happens in school though. As a future educator I leave everyday from school angry that most of my peers will be allowed to be teachers. They are already trying to find ways to cut corners. I think we need to look at a not only the teacher's content knowledge but their ability to inspire learning as well. Are they creative, passionate, critical thinkers or just robots produced by their institutions? I hope that when I get into the school system I will be able to advocate for these changes. For now, I remain one of thousands in teacher producing machines :-(
