Entering a new school is certainly a fun and exciting experience for
children. Stressful because they are worried about the environment,
friends, teachers, as well as new lessons they would find. Some children
can pass through easily, but not a few also who find it difficult. As
parents we can help children by increasing the child's confidence so
that he would no longer feel inadequate to deal directly with the new
"environment". Do not forget, to teach children to be careful in
conveying the message to the people around him. Additionally ask the
child to tell the experience about new environment. Be a good listener
and do not judge if he (accidentally) made a mistake, encourage him to
seek the best solution. Remember to always keep an attitude. For
example, to get used to saying "Thank You", "Please", and "Sorry".
Homeschool Versus Public School
If the child is still having trouble in public school, may homescholing
could be an alternative solution, although there are still pros and cons
of homeschooling. Most people think that homeschooling children are not
socialized properly. And if the teachers are supposed to do the socializing, why can not parents? Every homeschooling family has as
many, if not more, extracurricular activities for their kids as everyone
else, such as scouts, Jiu Jitsu, music lessons, art lessons, metal
working, speech and debate, sports and more. The most important
difference in home-school socialization is that the social values taught
come from the parents instead of the state.
With homeschooling, parents would believe that a child is in a quiet and
safe environment every day. Homeshooling advocates believe that
children do well in a safe and comfortable environment that they are
familiar with. It is believed by proponents of homeschooling is that the
home is the safest, most secure environment in which children can learn
well. When a child is home, he does not have to deal with peer
pressure. This gives children the opportunity to focus more on learning.
They do not have to worry about what to wear to school the next day,
they are protected from having to fit in with the popular crowd who gave
much attention to the things that are less important as buying the
right clothes at the right store, wearing the right shoes or playing
video games appropriate. With homeschooling, the kids can enjoy the
peace and quiet. Not only that, they also can work in their own pace and
in their own style.
However, public school advocates also believe that the same proved true
with students who attended public schools. Although public school
classrooms do not have the same serenity and peaceful atmosphere that
has homeschooling, public school advocates believe that the chaotic
atmosphere of the classroom actually helps children succeed in the
future. Because in reality, the real world is not so quiet and peaceful
as we would like it to be. They believe that the children are very
sheltered and protected life chances of people who would have trouble
adjusting to the real world after school. They also believe that it is
important that children learn how to interact and cooperate with each
other for them to be able to build a real, dynamic skills needed in the
real world. Public school supporters strongly believe that the purpose
of public education is not just about one's academic resume. They said
the mission of public schools is to teach children skills and be able to
use and apply them through meaningful interactions with fellow needed
and their teachers.
Choose to send your child to a public school or homeschool is a big
decision to make which is why it may be better to examine the benefits
of each option before making any decision. Remember that you will make a
choice that must ultimately be based on what is best for your child, as
well as for you.
