Subject: Private School Versus Public School

I have a different view on private schools, at lease the one my children have been involved with. Three of our children have been enrolled in Christa McAuliffe Academy (CMA). It is a private school on the internet. They have mentors and students all over the world. Their mentors (teachers) are all certified and very professional. This is not the same as homeschooling. The students graduate with a high school diploma. They have specialized curriculum as well as their traditional curriculum K-12. Our children's mentor lives in Hawaii. Her name is Kim Au and she has been a wonderful mentor available for contact on a regular basis. Her website is <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.kimau.homestead.com">http://www.kimau.homestead.com</a> with a link to the CMA website. They also have CMA Adventures where students & parents have the opportunity to travel to various parts of the world and actually visit the places they are studying about. The students are required to meet once a week with their mentor and other students for class called "virtual classroom". Here they get to know each other, and have the classroom experience. There are no uniforms to buy, no peer pressure, etc. My children have taken some classes at the public school such as sign language. They have also been involved in sports with the public school, and they have a great social life, without all the "garbage" that goes on in public school. They have attened their proms and homecomings and have many friends from both public school and CMA. Take a look at this school, it is great!
