Back to School Blues

 Towards the end of July, stores start advertising Back to School Sales on everything you need and didn’t think you needed; but hey it’s on the list.

With those sales come the cries from the backseat, “I hate school, it’s too hard, it’s boring, I hate getting up in the morning, and I hate homework.” Sound familiar?

Kids have to attend school for our sanity and their future. But are their complaints legitimate?

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the homeschool movement and with it has come the proliferation of online homeschool programs.

According to a new joint report from the extending the school year is not necessarily the answer for increasing academic achievement. Instead, the study determined that “it’s what we do with those school days”. The average school day is 6.75 to 7 hours and the quantity of time cannot be translated into the quality of learning.

So perhaps your child’s objections are not that far from off. Can you honestly say you’re satisfied with your child’s academic progress and standing?

Solution? 91Ƶ

Let’s address your student’s objections, your concerns, and some facts:

It’s boring! Bored students aren’t learning students.

  • In an article in , Associate Professor , believes the student transition from tactile and creative learning to regimented subject learning is effectively boring our students.

91Ƶ offers extra-curricular subject blocks to help your child explore new hobbies, try new subjects, and interests.

I hate getting up in the morning! Tired students are underperforming students.

  • A published study in the suggests that insufficient sleep has been associated with a variety of poor outcomes involving physical health, behavioral issues, and lower academic performance. Instead delayed times saw improvement in all three categories.

91Ƶ start time is your time! Log in to your classes mid-day or early morning, Attendance is based on daily work not the time you show up for class.

I hate homework! 91Ƶ does not have homework.

How will my child’s academic strengths and weaknesses benefit from your school?

91Ƶ academic program is personalized; students meet virtually with their teacher for personalized academic lessons based on their needs.
