I feel one can not judge a school of any kind unless you yourself have had hands on with it.
I have had my own kids in public school and my grandkids. Now I'm raising one of my grandkids who was attending the same public school that my own children attended.
I battled this school for years, put up with a lot from the teachers to the guidance department.
I thought things would have gotten better, but to my surprise it has gotten worse.
My grandchild needed extra help in Math, but when she would request help she was always put off.. She came home with work that took us 5hours to complete.....
Because I didn't know about the teaching on the web sites, they downed her grades..
What happened to staying in touch with parents and guardians? Why complain to the child that the guardian is sending emails?
So I finally got fed up when I noticed that she was coming down in her grades.. now this child is a A student.. for the first time There was 2 F's and 1 D... WHAT IS THIS?????
So I pulled her out she is now doing Charter School here in Pa through the PAVCS and I must say she loves the idea of the one on one and having the time to learn what she may not pick up so fast...
So I feel it may not be for everyone, but until you have tried it or know someone personally who is or has tried it we need to hold judgment on it..
Some people just can't stand change, and find it easier to throw the kid in school.. lets spend that time with our kids, grandkids and teach them...
Remmber the first teaching of our children did start at HOME>>>
Unless you have tried it you can't judge properly
