Every parent wants their child to learn in the best possible way and get the best grades possible. So it is understandable that they look for the best school for their child. However, these days, students are judged not only by their performance, but also by the way they are taught. Today, there are more schools than ever before, each emphasizing different things.

It is true that many parents are attracted to these alternative methods. They very often claim that they are more natural to the child and help him or her learn better. Of course, while this may be true, it is important to remember that not everything that is attractive to children is good.

Of course, children learn better when they have fun. That is precisely what is behind the concept of “schools where children learn through play.” Unfortunately, this is not always possible. The problem is that there are 20 to 30 children in a classroom, each with different interests. Therefore, it is impossible to interpret the concept in a way that everyone will truly enjoy.

However, there are alternative styles such as this. They are usually based on letting each child decide for themselves what they want to learn and let them learn it on their own. However, while this sounds more than adequate in theory, unfortunately it does not work very well in practice.

First of all, children usually do not want to learn on their own. If possible, it is necessary to motivate him or her to do so by something he or she likes. A typical example is a love of cars. For example, motivate him to read by having him read stories and various information about trains. In math, they can count the number of carriages. However, there are some things that these alternative methods cannot do.

Another problem is that children taught in this way are usually not prepared to move on to high school where they will no longer be taught in this style. Even for a normal student, this is often a big jump, much less for a student who has never experienced standardized instruction. Therefore, it is worth considering whether this is really the best approach for the child.
