What is the benefit of independent study in school.?
403914
The best thing about an independent study is the ability of the student to design his or her own bibliography and carry out research on the specific topic of his or her own passionate interest.  \n\nThe second best thing is that an independent study allows students to work closely with a professor on a topic of mutual interest.  This allows the student to get a real experience of what actual academic research is like, and how it is really done.

The number one advantage of public schools is SOCIALIZATION!  If you do research under that category, I guarantee that you will find many reasons to prove why home schooling isn't such a great idea.

A lot of fun, it feels nice to be more independent. Partying is fun, but do be careful, you grades can suffer. College is the best years of school, at least I think.

you could consider yourself independent for financial aid purposes and get free money, I guess

self learning by observation supported with open school education. attending classes is a waste thing for intelligent children.

Please to form a full sentence and question will you? . . .\n\nOkay, I assume you meant to ask "what are benefits of the group study teaching technique?"  Some benefits and drawbacks off the top of my head:\n\nBenefit: allows the students who aren't up to speed to learn from those who are, in their own group.\nDrawback: the students who understand what to do are expected to teach their peers, which doesn't always go over well, and they don't always teach the material correctly.\n\nBenefit: teaches students group skills, including how to divide up a larger project than they would be able to do individually\nDrawback: the only students who learn these skills are the top ones in the class, who often feel they need to do the work for the whole group in order for the group to get a good grade

Learning online takes independence and willpower.  I'm involved in an online high school.  Sometimes, it's hard to focus and my determination dwindles.  However, an online school is great for people who are unable to attend a traditional learning environment.  There are many students in my school who are geniuses and would be teased because of their young age.  The curriculum most often matches that of traditional learning, however the classes offered usually varies more than a normal school.  For example, there are more AP classes or higher education levels.  With learning online, one can do their work when it's convenient for them, unlike a normal school where homework/etc. is usually due the next day.  An online school is a good opportunity of someone has motivation and determination to help themself learn.  Otherwise, it's not a good choice.

There are many decisions you can make while in school. You can decide whether or not you want to have a job when you are of appropiate age. Having a job is a responsibility that can pay off.You can decide on whether or not to participate in community and extracurricular activities. Participating in such activities can help you learn more about yourself such as skills you have or whether or not you have preference of one thing over another. You can decide on whether or not to research careers that are of interests. Knowing what you want can save you time and effort so that with knowing what you want, you can instead direct your attention on something you want. You can decide whether or not to learn outside of schools. Schools can't teach you everything. It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to learn more about the world you live in. Also, you can decide what type of person you want to be. Do you want to be someone who stands out of the crowd and defends their beliefs or do you want to be someone who conforms to pressure. Really, there are numerous decisions to make while in school and when you are finished with school.

I am very grateful. The true purpose of an education is to teach you how to teach yourself. Think about that.

Take notes in your own words as you study.  It will help you keep track of what you are studying and also provide a way to review it later.  By using your own words you constantly have a check on whether you are understanding it and also it helps to integrate it into your own knowledge system which is unique to you.

I think they both have their merits. Independant schools generally have kids who are easier to work with because the school will kick them out if they misbehave.  The environment at an independant school is far nicer and the teachers seem happier.  But at state schools you will get far more experience with a broader range of kids and you won't get so  many 'spoilt brats'!

I had way more freedom at university because I lived independently and could come and go as I please.  From an academic perspective, I was only responsible to myself at university, so if I skipped class or didn't hand in assigments, my parents never knew!  I loved being responsible for myself.\n\nMy grades were better in high school because I felt pressure to get good marks and get into university.  At university, I had already achieved my goals and let my marks slide in order to have more fun!\n\nMy social life was pretty wild in university- I was out on the town at nightclubs most nights!  I drank and partied all the time, with totally random people, and ended up in some pretty weird situations.  In high school I didn't drink until the 12th grade and always partied with my group of friends, so it was less crazy and less frequent!\n\nI think I will be friends with my high school friends forever, but it was easy to lose touch with my university friends because we were all from different places and all moved away at the end.  With my high school friends, we all have hometown connections.\n\nBut overall, I definitely prefer university (which is why I'm going back for a Masters!)

Really, it depends on the pupil. \n\nHomeschooling provides more of a one on one education. Special needs can be paid closer attention to or help in a particular area can be attended. However home schooled students tend to lack social experience and a large cultural variety of peers. The student also misses out on opportunities such as student government, sports, or clubs.\n\nPublic school provides a variety of subjects and usually teaches them fairly well, in my experience. However class sizes tend to be larger and sometimes struggling students are over looked. Students usually have opportunities to take classes based on interests and their grades. There is usually a variety of culture at public schools and a large student body with peers. Socially, public school students blossom.\n\nPrivate school students usually receive excellent educations as the subjects tend to be slightly more advanced. Class sizes are usually smaller meaning struggling students get more help. Private schools tend to have better extracurriculars, because of tuition money. However, the student body may be limited and lacking in diversity. Often students who board at their school can receive a taste for college life and be more prepared than other students.

Boarding school has some obvious benefits.  You get to experience a life away from home, without really being thrust into the big, bad world on your own.  You have to learn cooperation and how to get along with other people.  You have to be responsible for your own laundry, cleaning your room, etc.  So it can be a good experience.\n\nSome parents are afraid to send their kids to boarding school because they are afraid the kids will get wild without them being there to control them.  But that's what the dormintory deans are there for....so it's not all bad.\n\nI went to boarding school and it was a good experience.  I have fond memories of my time in boarding school.
