The reformers feel that schools today demotivate children. They feel that the system of failing children and putting them in the same grade could be detrimental to their psychology. It becomes a very demoralising experience for them. They sense failure and rejection at an age when their goodness and the competitive spirit has to be tapped gently. These are just some of the disadvantages of today s educational system.
Alternate education has a refreshing approach towards education, apart from being innovative.
It knows how a child would like to learn new things and it proceeds in that manner. The time period may be slow but the results are astonishing. It will bring to the forefront, the psychic being of an individual whereas in schools, the innermost being is pushed to the background. This kind of education will make the child mentally, physically and spiritually sound and these things are enough to make him successful in life. However, parents who have enrolled their children in such schools hold a different opinion.
