AERO's First Webinar Starts In Ten Minutes!
AERO School: The Knowing Gardon, Redondo Beach, CA

AERO will be offering, for the first time ever, a free webinar on school starting in ten minutes, August, 20, at 7 PM. If you are interested in participating in it just register here

After you register you can e mail questions in advance to JerryAERO@AOL.com

If you plan to start your new alternative in the next year or two and you want to avoid common pitfalls, enroll in the online School Starters Course before it fills up. It might be filled after the webinar. 

 
For example, this week weI had a meeting with two people from here on Long Island who have registered. One will start her alternative in Crete, Greece. The other will start a program for at-risk teenagers here. And we just got a registrations from people in Belgium and the Philippines. 

A scholarship application does not guarantee registration for the course. Enrollment will close when we reach 25 individuals or groups. If you register now at the regular tuition (which will probably go up significantly next year) your place in the course is guaranteed. Payment options are available at the registration site.

tensignsThe Ten Signs You Need to Find a Different Kind of Education for Your Child
Many parents don't realize that the education world has changed drastically since they were in school. Schools and class sizes used to be smaller, dropout rates lower, in-school violence almost unheard of, and teachers weren't terrified of showing affection to their students, or of discussing moral values. Of course, even then, school was far from perfect, but at least the teachers-and usually the principal-knew every student by name, something that is increasingly rare today.

Because our public school system has deteriorated considerably, many parents, teachers, and individuals have taken it upon themselves to create public and private alternatives to that system; and it is important for parents to know that they now have choices.

So how do you know that it's time to look for another educational approach for your child? Here are some of the signs:

1. Does your child say he or she hates school?

If so, something is probably wrong with the school. Children are natural learners, and when they're young, you can hardly stop them from learning. If your child says they hate school, listen to them.
