Today, children are expected to earn high grades in all
of their classes, in spite of the failing public school system.
Parents can still remember when an education was essential
in preparing children for their livelihood.
Now what many public school systems offer is overcrowded
classrooms. Teachers are being grossly underpaid for their
skills and overworked. Outdated learning material,
metal detectors, violence, cuts in federal spending for education....
Remedial help is sorely needed for some students so they can
keep up. If a child can't receive the education they deserve, how
are they expected to prosper in society? Parents, students, and the
public school systems already know that this is a hugh problem,
but who can they turn to for help?
More and more parents are turning to tutoring to supplement their
children's education and to further their children's abilities to be
successful in the future.
Tutoring is a $4 Billion business that is growing steadily.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, supplemental
educational services are funded by school districts with a portion
of their allocation from the U.S. Department of Education.
The Federal Government allocates as much as $1800 per
eligible student, but so far, less than 10 percent of eligible students
are electing to participate, according to providers' estimates.
One of the toughest challenges is simply convincing parents that the
service is free to them. Parents will often hang up when sales reps for
tutoring firms call to explain the program.
They think it is a scam because "free" usually means too good to
be true. And sometimes parents simply don't want to acknowledge
that their child needs help. Parents have been known to ask
"What's wrong with my child that he needs to be tutored?"
In spite of these challenges, online tutoring, or
Interactive Distance Learning (IDL) is expected
to grow at an
unprecedented rate. IDL is where a student receives live, one-on-one
tutoring in a virtual classroom setting or in large group sessions over
a video conferencing system.
Students who have access to a computer at home or in school can log in
to the system and have a live tutor help them day or night. Subjects like
Math, English, Calculus, World History, Latin, French, Chemistry, Physics
and many others can be taught to them by certified tutors/teachers.
And there are online tutoring systems that even supply their own
courseware library, featuring some of the finest programmed learning
courses in computer sciences, management and academic subjects.
Children who receive one-on-one remedial tutoring have been known to
have increased self-esteem and self confidence, increased focus and
lengthened attention span.
My advice to parents everywhere is to find an online tutoring system that
focuses on academic remedial courses for ages K-12, as well as for
college students.
Why not give your child the best chance at passing each class with the
help he or she needs? There's federal money allocated for the parents
to provide online remedial help for their children. Also, parents are
able to schedule tutoring sessions to fit into their time schedule.
In the long run, everyone shares in the child's accomplishment.
David M. Rolle', a Online Tutoring Franchise Owner, believes passionately
in interactive distance learning for students that need remedial courses.
