What about those who don't fit in the schooling 'mold'. I have been learning alot lately about schooling and about alternative schools, which often are very expensive because they are not supported by the government. Not every kids needs to learn the same way, nor do they. I am a visual learner, so graphs, charts, pictures mean more to me then words. I use graphic organizers to organize my material.
Another point lately has been extremely academic preschools. What about letting kids be kids? I really think explatory play can lead to learning without learning in a vaccuum. Kids need to learn through self-correcting toys, so given a chance to learn on their own. What about social lessons, like sharing?
Parents and kids should have more options for schooling. No single school will work for every child. Choice is key and allowing the child to thrive.
This shouldn't be an issue of money, or burarcracy but instead what is right for this particular child!
