EAG News: THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – A California school district is trying a new approach to attract more students amid declining enrollment: listening to parents and giving them what they want.
Conejo Valley Unified School District is launching the K-6 Independent Home Study Program to offer parents support in homeschooling their children personalized education programs tailored to their interests and learning style, the Thousand Oaks Acorn reports.
The program “was borne out of community meetings Superintendent Ann Bonitatibus held last year where parents expressed a desire for more flexible and personalized forms of education,” according to the news site.
The move is designed to help counter the district’s declining enrollment, which is estimated to result in about 2,000 fewer students by 2020. more
The public school system will continue to decline unless the Federal Dept of Education is abolished and out of the way, and the Teacher’s Union is nurtured.
It’s ironic and telling that the Archdiocese of Chicago educates more kids than the Chicago schools do, including the offspring of 80% of the heavily Unionized Chicago teachers. I guess they need outrageous pay so they can send their kids to private school or live well out in the suburbs where the schools are good!
There are several Christian schools in that area; Lutheran, Baptist, and others. A lot of good people from the Valley moved there to get away from all the crap.
And I’m willing to bet dollars to doughnuts, that the Conejo Valley USD, because it’s a gooberment and union run system, will STILL fuck their version of “home schooling” up with gooberment meddling.
Think of all the teachers you wouldn’t need if more people home schooled.
Btw Diogenes you mispelled neutered
You join the program, you child is now enrolled, school district get more money.
cuz maybe the small percentage of white kids still want to learn in English ???
