Online Learning: Homeschooling - Karin Piper, Examiner
It is not just colleges that offer online degrees. Cyber-learning is also not being pursued by homeschoolers alone. K12 (online learning) states that merely and roughly 20% of their enrolled students come from a previous home based learning environment. More and more families take advantage of the progressive technologies offered by online education in all types of formats—charter schools, districts and private. Some families who try this for summer and enrichment programs find that they like it so much they change their kids year-round education—and voila!—there is another home based learner.
Comments:
Homeschooling does seem scary at first, but the rise of all the new curriculum makes it very possible for first time parents to homeschool successfully, even through high school. It is amazing that homeschool performance on standardized testing exceeds that of public school students regardless of race, income or the parents level of education.
