I know. I know. We all hear the numbers proving that many of our schools are overcrowded, under equipped and even in some cases potentially dangerous. And as a result, we've seen a growing emphasis on cyber school, home schooling and other methods of educating. But as much as they are an alternative, by no means are they an answer.The first and most obvious problem with these two ways of educating deals with the near isolation they generally thrive on. Yes, maybe there is something to be said for not having a lot of distractions that can come with large classrooms. However, socialization is essential and fundamental in every stage of life, especially childhood. And both of these non-traditional forms of education lack in these areas.The second major drawback lies in the education itself. When it comes to home schooling, more often than not a parent serves as the teacher. And in most cases, that parent has no background or formal schooling in teaching. Quite frankly, they aren't qualified to do so.In the case of cyber schools, the child has virtually no face to face interaction with his or her teachers. This leads to a lack of the focused attention a child needs, which in turn, can have a negative impact on the child's learning.All in all, Internet and home based learning are OK but lack in some of the basic needs all children should be exposed to.
