In my last essay I listed five reasons to join the Ron Paul Curriculum based off of my personal experience. Today’s essay is going to be slightly similar. I am going to be listing fifteen benefits of the Ron Paul Curriculum.
Benefit One: the curriculum is self-taught starting 4th grade. This teaches the child discipline and gives them a sense of responsibility.
Benefit Two: because the curriculum is self-taught, parents do not have to act as full-time teachers. They can work from home or take care of the household without having to worry about their child’s school.
Benefit Three: the curriculum is self-paced. The student can go at whatever pace they desire, resulting in a zero stress education.
Benefit Four: if the curriculum does not work out for a certain family they have 60 days to get a refund of their money.
Benefit Five: students are not required to use textbooks. This saves money for the parents. All books required for the courses are free on PDFs or can be bought from Kindle for under $10.
Benefit Six: speed reading is taught in ABC (Academic Boot Camp) and encouraged in all of the other courses.
Benefit Seven: weekly essays are required starting 4th grade. This not only teaches the students how to write good essays, but it gives them plenty of opportunities to practice their skills.
Benefit Eight: there are forums for every course where students can talk to one another when they need help or get constructive criticism on their essays and/or speeches. The forums also serve as a database of students’ essays, allowing future RPC students to get essays for inspiration when it is their turn to write.
Benefit Nine: RPC offers unique courses like Business (two Business courses in high school), Public Speaking, and Personal Finance. Regular schools do not offer courses like these to high school students.
Benefit Ten: the curriculum is very easy-going and allows students to have flexible schedules.
Benefit Eleven: the curriculum is 100% online. Because of this it is possible for the student to do schoolwork anywhere.
Benefit Twelve: there is no extra work to do after the class is over. The student is given assignments to do after watching the videos and then that subject is done for the day.
Benefit Thirteen: RPC does not force students to do hours and hours of schoolwork everyday. The maximum time a student can do school using RPC is 6 hours. Of course they can do more if they wish to.
Benefit Fourteen: there is no age limit to the classes. Unlike Public and Private schools, grades are not based on age but on the student’s knowledge.
Benefit Fifteen: everything is home-based. There are no bullies or social drama other than the ones at home (aka siblings).
