Island vlogger Andi Eigenmann shares Ellie is going back to the city.
In a new vlog, Andi Eigenmann becomes emotional as she shared what Ellie has decided for the type of schooling she would want to have.
There are several pros and cons in both normal schooling and homeschooling. However, if we are to weigh some factors, what’s lacking in the latter includes socialization and extracurricular activities. Interaction and socialization are skills honed better in the traditional school setup as they get to meet new people and be with people who are their age, younger than them, or older than them.
However, in terms of choosing which is better between the two, the greatest consideration must be the learner. It would better if a learner knows where he or she will thrive more: in structured environment or in a more personalized approach. This is exactly Andi Eigenmann’s concern.
In a new vlog, she shared that her daughter with Jake Ejercito, Ellie, has decided to go back to normal schooling after years of being homeschooled since the pandemic. Ellie has experienced both and these days, she prefers more to go to a normal school.
According to Andi, it’s been her childhood dream to experience homeschooling, however, this time around, it’s not about her. This time is about her daughter’s desire and as a parent, what she wants is to support it.
She will be returning to Manila and will be staying with her father. In this new setup, they agreed that she will be spending most of her holidays with them on the island. On top of this, they are surely going to miss having her most of the time.
Andi added based on the video, “As she is turning 13, I didn’t want to deprive her of experiencing something that think would also be worth it.”
She met some of the best people in her life when she was schooling in Manila and this is something she would not want her daughter to miss. But one thing that made her all emotional was remembering one of the reasons that made them come up with the decision.
According to her, this has been decided since last year as they would also want Ellie to spend time with her late mother Jaclyn Jose. Unfortunately, it’s too late now. She passed away this year and this particular plan is never going to happen anymore and this breaks her heart.
