Essay: Children should never be educated at home by their parents. Do you agree or disagree? Home schooling became recently a trend within our country. Parents are being disturbed by education given in local schools, which make them leave their jobs and become a home tutor for children. Let's analyse the advantages and disadvantages of that practice. Main reasons for home education, that often make parents leave the school or even not to apply to it, are: - unsatisfying atmosphere in a class. Nowadays a school administration can do nothing with the hooligans, who impede the educational process and even harm their classmates. The educational laws protect primarily troubled families - the source of misbehaving students. - school program, which seems to be either too difficult or too simple. Sometimes it can lead to interfering with child's studying or even to arguing with a school teacher. - a child due to psychological or physical disabilities can't attend a school. The advantages of home education are evident: - your child is always under your control. - a kid can study at his own pace, so there is no need to stick to regime. Also a student doesn't have to keep pace with other children and have an opportunity to shuffle courses, which usually leads to much faster completion of a school program. - lots of free time, that a child can use for sports, language and programming courses, and other activities. Although home schooling is so promising, there are a few disadvantages of it: - a child doesn't obtain bonds with other children, which is essential in early childhood, so he or she doesn't get the understanding, how to behave in society other than family. - the main weakness of being taught by parents, is that no one can have sufficient competence in all school subjects. Parents usually lack skills and opportunities to teach efficiently, for example, chemistry or physics (because there's normally no laboratories at our houses), foreign languages (providing correct pronunciation is a hard task) or IT and programming (because of fast-developing technologies). I agree to some extent with the home education, because it provides freedom for a child. All in all, family schooling is not bad, and sometimes it is the only option. But a child should never be taught by family members, because they lack expertise. Better to hire tutors for different subjects or submit to online-school. Also parents should remember that school is not just about studying, but as well about communicating with people and learning how to deal with them.
