Many of us remember when attending traditional school meant children taking a bus to a bricks-and-mortar building in the early morning, sitting at desks, and working on the same worksheets and assignments as their peers in a group setting. But, with the rise of online school, more and more, parents and students are questioning why school has to follow this rigid format.
K-12 online school may be the best choice for your family if you are looking for:
more accommodation of your child’s learning style
more parental involvement
personalized programming
day-to-day scheduling flexibility
access to your child’s public school education from anywhere in the world
Traditional vs. Online School
Parental Involvement
At a traditional school, parental involvement is often limited to things like reviewing homework, attending parent-teacher conferences, or chaperoning field trips. Many parents are also out of the loop on academic performance until the end-of-term report card comes home, leaving parents and students little chance to course-correct.
With online school, parents have many options for being involved in their children’s education. As Learning Coaches, parents (or other trusted adults) may choose to support learning by structuring the online school student’s daily routine or reviewing lessons and grades as often as they wish. They can consult with online school teachers in regular meetings and, when needed, play an active role by helping to monitor attendance, progress, and comprehension. While every family does online learning a bit differently, online educators agree that it’s a good idea to assist with organization and time management, encourage students, and praise them for their hard work.
