When it comes to online learning, we may think we have all the facts. We hear about pros and cons, but the pros tend to be focused on allowing students to engage in academics even in difficult circumstances. However, did you know that regardless of a student’s situation or reason for turning to online learning, online learning offers some big benefits that can help them to be successful for a lifetime?
Time Management
The GED, General Education Development test, was developed as US soldiers were coming home from World War II. Many of them had signed up for military service before graduating high school. Passing the GED was a way to show that they had the skills necessary for jobs or for college entry. The GED is still used today as a way for high school dropouts to demonstrate skills. Today, online schools offer students dropping out of traditional school the chance to earn a high school diploma.
Leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the school year is in full swing. At least, it should be. But what if your online student is struggling? What can you do to help?
Connect With Teachers
Learning from home is the new normal for many families. The flexibility of online education is great, but students still need structure and organization to be successful. If your family is taking advantage of online education, you can create an organized learning environment at home for your child.
“Stay in School,” we tell our kids. “Don’t be a quitter!” But are there really long-term consequences to dropping out? It turns out there are!
Employment
With all the options in education, parents might be confused about the difference between attending online school from home and “home schooling”. The main differences between online school and homeschooling are found in the responsibilities of the parent or guardian. With online schooling, the school is responsible to the state for meeting mandated education requirements. With homeschooling, it is the parent or guardian who answers to the state.
