The post-coronavirus world demands online public school

Little did anybody expect that an event like coronavirus could suddenly become a disruption to the education of children worldwide.

Many of our children are left in limbo as to what comes next for completing their curriculum this year.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not an oncoming truck either. It is the silver lining that’s emerging from the dark cloud we have lived in while needlessly tolerating long-outdated limitations of conventional public school education.

Little do many parents realize, but already today, without additional expenses your child can receive an extraordinary education at home while still learning from your state’s public school teachers. I emphasize that this does not require the parent to become the teacher as what you may currently understand as “home school.”

In our own experience, students learn the same subjects, but in a fraction of the time that would otherwise be spent quite unproductively in conventional public school settings.

Sound too good to be true? It did to us initially, but we discovered the truth after a hard-won battle with a great deal of research plus trial and error.
