Surviving Public High School: Things Seniors Wish They Knew as Freshman

When it comes to your child’s education, you want to know that you are making the right choice. But each child is unique when it comes to learning, and the option that might be right for another child might not be the best choice for yours. Many parents who are concerned about the quality of their child’s education make the choice to homeschool their kids. If you are thinking about homeschooling as an option, take the time to learn about the benefits of public school over homeschooling – they might just change your mind and your attitude about public school.

This video discusses the pros and cons of homeschooling vs schooling in public school.

What is Homeschooling?

In the simplest of terms, homeschooling is simply schooling your children at home. Homeschooling has become quite the progressive movement in recent years with more and more parents choosing to homeschool instead of sending their children to public school. There are a number of reasons why a parent might choose to homeschool their child – here are a few:

• The family might have different religious beliefs than those taught (or not taught) in public school. Homeschooling allows you to choose whether to incorporate religion or not.
• Homeschooling might offer more specialized educational attention for special needs children.
• Parents may have different educational philosophies than public school administrators and teachers. With homeschooling, you choose what philosophies to follow.
• Children may progress faster

In many cities across the country, public schools are suffering. Due to lack of funding and other issues, many public schools fail to meet the needs of their students, prompting many local parents to send their children to private school instead. But private school comes with its own list of challenges and it isn’t always the best choice. If your child is attending private school but you’re thinking about making the switch back to public school, keep reading to learn some important information.

The Pros and Cons of Private School

Private school is not always all it’s cracked up to be – there are both pros and cons for you to consider. One of the biggest advantages that many private schools offer is more personalized attention for students. Private schools often boast smaller class sizes and lower student-teacher ratios than public schools – they may also have a more challenging curriculum. Because private schools are funded differently than public schools, many private schools have better books and supplies as well as more up-to-date technology. Some private schools even focus on a particular subject or skill which can be beneficial for students who have an interest in that area.

On the downside, private schools can be expensive – tuition can cost thousands of dollars a year and there may not be enough scholarships to go around. In some private schools (particularly those with religious affiliations), teachers may not have a teaching degree – they may only have

The quality of your child’s early education will significantly impact his future. Unfortunately, some schools do not have the money it takes to give each child the degree of quality education they deserve. Schools all over the country are led by teachers who are burned out from classrooms that are too full and budgets that are too small. But how important is the student-teacher ratio? Is there a way you can offset the damage of an overcrowded classroom by supplementing your child’s education at home? Keep reading to find out.

What is the Student-Teacher Ratio?

According to the glossary of education reform, the student-teacher ratio “expresses the relationship between the number of students enrolled in a school… and the number of full-time equivalent teachers employed by the school. For example, a school with a 10:1 student-teacher ratio would have ten times as many students as full-time teachers. The student-teacher ratio is important for several reasons. For one thing, it can be used as a tool to measure teacher workload as well as the allocation of resources, particularly in public schools. More importantly, however, it can indicate the amount of individual attention any single child is likely to receive, keeping in mind that not all class sizes will be the same.

The student-teacher ratio of any given school or school district is frequently used to judge the quality of education. However, it is important to note that the “ideal” student-teacher ratio will vary depending on a few different factors.

Every child learns in his own way and at his own pace. Unfortunately, children who learn differently often fall behind in school because the entire class cannot be adjusted to suit the needs of one child. If you are worried about your child’s needs not being met, you may want to consider getting him some extra help outside of school.

Types of Tutoring Available for Kids

Just because your child is not doing as well as he could in school doesn’t mean he is stupid. There are many factors that need to be considered when it comes to a child’s academic performance. For example, some children are visual learners while others can learn simply by reading a book. Some children also take a little more time to understand concepts which can make them fall behind in class if the teacher moves too quickly. No matter what your child’s individual struggles may be, getting him some help outside of school might be a good option.
