text: Although some may argue that when a student takes classes online, parents can guide them through their child's lessons. They are wrong because parents aren't professionally trained, like teachers, to know what material their child needs to learn for one class, let alone seven classes. It would take time for parents to be taught how to properly teach to their children, and even if they can, they may not have the time to. Further more, most parents work at the same time school is in session; parents should not be depended on to home school every day and every week. Even if a parent can stay at home, they would most likely have the more important matters of completing chores, such as cleaning and cooking, for the family.
