We dispel doubts about online education

Often parents who hear about online education and the opportunity to learn without attending school every day experience various doubts, fears and ponder many questions. Let’s try to argue in favor of learning online. In an online school, a child will gain worse knowledge than studying in person with a teacher at school. Answer: On the contrary, according to the results of the assessment, children who attend online schools or go to externship during a pandemic have a higher level of knowledge than regular students. Due to the fact that the online space is literally limitless, a child can engage with the best teachers while in another city or country. A student from Nizhyn and a teacher who lives in Reykjavik or vice versa is a very common story. The child does not socialize! Answer: Socialization is, first of all, communication. At M’Andryk Online School, training takes place live. The child can freely express his opinion, participate in discussions, accept the thoughts and ideas of others, while adhering to the established rules of conduct, without violating each other’s boundaries. The online format of lessons guarantees complete safety of the student, protection from negative physical or psychological influence. If a child is at home under parental supervision, no one will be able to offend or harm him or her. By studying online, the child will not receive an official document at the end of the school year, and yes, and school. Answer: Online school is one of the forms of education of the M’Andrick International School, which has a license to carry out educational activities, which gives the right to issue certificates of education of the state standard, in accordance with Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine “On Education” and Article 4 According to the Law of Ukraine “On Complete General Secondary Education”, a person has the right to receive education in various forms or in combination. “Complete general secondary education can be obtained in full-time (full-time), distance, network, external, family (home) forms or form of pedagogical patronage, as well as full-time (evening), part-time forms (at the levels of basic and specialized secondary education).” According to the parents of our students, we can say that online learning can and should be high quality, fully realizing the benefits of this form of learning.
