Online Schools K-12 by elaine123
I would like to know if anyone has or have considered online schools for children in Amman? If so, could you please share your experience and name of the program/school you used.
JO/EU yes your right again :) but some kids aren't that lucky and are thrown into it. In my opinion this is not fair, but maybe a necessary evil. The psychological impact could be devastating. My child will take courses over the summer. ... Read More

You are so right! Anyone living in a foreign country should attempt to learn the language. It should be a requirement everywhere. It just becomes a problem when older students are uprooted and taken to a different country that requires them to be ... Read More

James, you seem like a reliable educated source that could prove very beneficial to many. Do you know amman education law? I've found statements saying that it is a requirement for students to be taught religion/history in Arabic. I found this ... Read More

Primadonna, just to clarify, in the USA, online schools are becoming more popular for many reasons, but it is easy to confuse with homeschooling. Both have a curriculum that must be followed and students are tested by the state/government standards. ... Read More

It is very common in America for parents in my community to home school. I'm from a small Christian Community with many educated parents (teachers themselves). They must have a mentality of protecting their offspring from the real world or maybe ... Read More

Mohdq, I think we are off topic, but I will respond anyway. To be honest with you, I have covered my head two times with a scarf. It wasn't tied and somewhat see-through. Both times were out of respect. The first time was when I visited my ... Read More
