If you're anything like me, perhaps you feel like the public school system is doing more harm than good for our children. Over the past 4 decades, numerous public schools have fallen so far into squalor, that they now tend to resemble shelters and compounds to house something other than students. Maybe school is no longer challenging enough for your child or their talents are not appreciated, encouraged, or nurtured? Or maybe you're sick and tired of having your child simply participating in the education "process", but not actually receiving one?
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.
