Drugs, racism, prejudice and peer pressure are some of the many reasons parents choose to home school a child but does this really give a child the best start in life? Will that boy or girl grow up equipped to deal with the daily challenges of modern day society? Although state funded schools may not seem to be the best start in life they teach children one thing that home schooling does not. Dealing with these issues is an important part of developing as a person and understanding ones own identity. However when it comes to education can we really rely on state funded establishments to do the best job of educating our children?
Lots of people have turned to "toping up" the education of children with home tutoring and private tuition to give children the best chance that they can get. Private education has always been a way to ensure the best start in life but with tuition fees reaching an all time high it really is not suited to everybody's pocket and as a result there has been a huge surge in the amount of parents investing in home tutoring to ensure that children can excel in areas that the usual classroom environment cannot cater to.
The Tutor doctor is one such group that is rapidly expanding as a result of people losing faith in state funded schools. It seems that in a world of raising unemployment amongst highly educated people the only way to survive is to be at the top of one's game and it all starts as a child. More and more graduates are finding that the chosen path is leading them to the same place that they may have found themselves if they just decided to find work at the age of 16 but without the lingering debt of student loans hanging over them.
It seems clear that the only way to make your efforts count is to be top of the tree all the way through. The United Kingdom has become a services based economy meaning the jobs are in offices and positions of qualification. It is already the cast that there is a qualification for almost every profession out there but the competition for the higher paying work is fierce and our overall standard of living is being diminished. My children will be made aware of the importance of high achievement because even after all of the time and effort invested, gone are the days of a secure future for anybody. We are most definitely back to the days of "survival of the fittest" only it is more about fitness of mind over body.
