A parents rights in education

No not at all it is your right as a parent to edjucate your children however you see fit. As long as your child is going to school they can not say anything about it

Within the boundaries of good sense, I think a parent should be able to educate their child as they see fitting. If that means cyberschooling, so be it.

yes , you are right, so important for the children, but in old china, many people do not think it is, now better

Hi Sender, Where I live, the parents do have the right to homeschool their children and I am almost certain that they may choose internet classes. The state closely monitors the child's grades and ciriculum (sp)to make sure that they are learning. I'm not sure of all the details or just how the state monitors these things but I believe that here it is perfectly legit. I'm so glad that our schools are realizing that not all kids learn the same way and some thrive better with alternative programs. It used to be either private school or public school. I actually think that home schooling has always been accepted but now there are even more options which is great. Also the public school system does work with the home schoolers to provide things like sports and other extra curricular activities that the child might otherwise miss out on.

I don't think they have the right, no. But I would think that if they forsaw some reason why a certain child shouldn't be a part of cyber schooling they would voice it. I would hope that they would if they saw a problem. The school system has a right to voice any opinion they might have.

What exactly do you mean by this? I'm sorry the question is just a little bit vague,

Personally I feel and believe that an education for your child is one of the most important things that any child can do. Especially when they are younger and needing to learn the in ands out about life within this world. If this means Public, private or Home schooled it is often quite essential for sure.

sender 621 yes education is always important and if a parent sees the school she is supposed to send her children to is not adequate surely she has some other choices. Iknow here in California they give parents a bad time if they refuse to send their children to the schools they feel they should go to unless a parent can afford private schools . I know from what I have seen here on the net that a lot of mylot parents are home schooling their children, and if its because the schools are not adequate where they are more power to them.I feel as a senior citizen that the parents should have the right to send their kids wherever they feel is best for their education.

Are you asking if it is OK to home school our children where I live? Yes you may home school your children if you like, but you have to register with the state and let them know you are home schooling you also have to meet certain requirements including physical education requirements and they have to pass certain tests to prove that they are actually learning.

I don't think the public school system should have the right to prevent enrollment. Although, if the child decides to transfer to a public school later, the school does have the right not to accept the credits (this would apply in high school). I used to work in a charter school and we did not have to take certain credits in certain courses from regular public school. I didn't really think it was fair because the child had done the work and earned the credit. It didn't seem fair to take it away from them.

I think the education of a child is up to the parent. If the parent wants them to have some education using internet even though a school doesnt want to then the school is not respecting the parents wishes. Like the saying "parents know what is best for their children" and that is how schools or any other person in the world shouldnt even try to intervine in the education given from parent to children. To some people it might not be the right thing to do but if the parents think that it is the best thing to do then you should never question what they want for their children.

Yes, education is a very important thing to all of us. Schools have no right to prevent parents from letting their kids enrol in any school they want unless it is not good for the kids. To my opinion better if we leave how education is being taught as for now, I still like the way that kids go to school and interact with kids their age and with their teachers too. The internet can't teach you this. I hope someday schools will still be existing including teachers and students.
