Comment your answers below with reasons.

Online education often suffers from being quite boring, which can make it harder for students to stay engaged. Academically speaking, though, it might actually be easier in some cases. There are, however, a few online schools that stand out for being both creative and challenging. These schools demand more from their students, requiring them to come prepared, participate actively in discussions, and go beyond the basic requirements. Not surprisingly, such schools usually have admissions tests and higher tuition fees. The truth is, they offer a far superior education.

One of the biggest advantages of online schooling is convenience. It saves families a lot of time and hassle. However, many online programs are filled with “box-checking” assignments—tasks that students can complete without actually learning much. In these cases, it’s possible to pass without gaining any meaningful knowledge.

The ideal educational experience would combine small groups of children from different age groups, learning through hands-on experiences in addition to reading and writing. These groups should be led by passionate experts who truly love the subjects they teach, rather than by individuals who were simply trained to manage classrooms in buildings designed to warehouse children.

“Learn by doing” is key, especially for boys, but not exclusively. Along with basic subjects, children need hands-on experience to master the skills necessary for a successful, well-rounded life by the time they’re 21. These include manual skills, intellectual skills, critical thinking, and social interaction—all of which are essential for reducing anxiety and thriving in adulthood.

Unfortunately, institutional schools aren’t equipped to provide this kind of comprehensive education. Parents who think schools are handling every aspect of their child’s development are mistaken. By neglecting to actively engage in their child’s growth, they risk raising kids who become overly reliant on social media and struggle in both work and life.

Online schooling can be an improvement over traditional schools with weak curriculums and wasted time, but it’s only the first step. Parents must play an active role, fully participating in their children’s education to ensure they develop the practical, intellectual, and social skills needed for the future.
