The Benefits of Alternative Schools

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the alternative school system in relation to the traditional school system in Canada. This paper reviews the benefits of alternative schooling and helps to dismiss some of the myths surrounding traditional schools.

From the Paper:

"Many people are suspicious of alternative schools. This is not surprising, since most people were educated at traditional schools. However, this paper argues that alternative schools teach everything that regular schools do, and a lot more besides. In particular, they foster many important qualities that ultimately contribute to the happiness and success of the children when they grow up. Thus, it would be a good thing for the schools boards of Ontario to open up more alternative schools. This will be shown by first exploding some of the myths of traditional schools, and then discussing the benefits of alternative schools."
