Let’s face it — it’s tough being a kid. And these days, children are faced with pressures from social media platforms, virtual communities and an “always online” reality their parents never faced. It’s no wonder an emphasis on mental health is becoming more prevalent in children’s lives.
These challenges extend into the classroom, where educational needs are changing based on individual learning requirements, geography, flexibility, and home structure, all of which have been exacerbated by the remote/hybrid working environments.
Benefits of Online Schooling
To meet these challenges head-on, many parents are opting for online schooling to give their children a leg up in an increasingly competitive educational environment.
Virtual schools provide a range of benefits to students and families. For example, online schools offer more flexibility and increase students’ confidence by letting them take an active role in their education. This new way of learning can improve family dynamics and boost mental health.
