Schools of Choice

Schools of Choice is an amazing option that has been created for so many parents.  For so long, parents were stuck in the specific school district where results were not being achieved nor were students learning.  Now, schools are challenged to be the best they can be with Public School Choice on the horizon.  This also creates a venue for students to get specialized instruction.  Many charter schools have begun opening, through focusing on the arts, literacy, technology, and a host of other specializations.  This has become so great for so many students, because they are able to focus their learning on something they may be interested in. 

Often times students may choose a virtual school.  So many people believe that a virtual school is not a "real school," but I beg to differ.  I currently teach 4th grade at a public virtual charter school.  Our curriculum is more challenging than I have seen in most brick and mortar schools.  A good example of this is that my students are currently finishing up the Revolutionary War, where in the brick and mortar schools, I never even began the Revolutionary War until the middle of January.  This school allows children to have a lot of one on one attention even though they are not in a classroom with their teacher.  This is because there are no scheduling distractions for the teacher and no classmate distractions for the student.  Many days I feel more accomplished and that my students have learned more from me in a day than I ever taught while I was working in brick and mortar.
