Being a psychologist, I very often receive the questions whether it is better to educate your children at home with the help of the on-line program or at school. It is very difficult to answer this question, because all the children are different and what is good for one child, may be bad for the other one.
All the circumstances should be taken into account: for example, whether your child is healthy or not. Sometimes, when the child suffers from some serious diseases or is disabled one, it is better not to take him or her into the traditional school in order not to kill his or her self estimation at all. The children may be too cruel and sometimes it is better not to endanger your child.
However, from the other side, if your child suffers from the fact that he or she is not like other children, do not cultivate this though in him or her. Give him or her into the traditional school and give the opportunity to develop and to communicate with other children.
In order to answer correctly, whether it is better to give your child into the traditional school or it is better to make a member of the on-line educational program, the medical report is not enough. I recommend to appeal to the children psychologist and even to the psychotherapist, if it is needed, and only after the conversation with your child, he or she will give you the advice whether to take your child to school, or it is better not to.
