Some people believe that teaching children at home is best for a child’s development while others think that it is important for children to go to school. Discuss the advantages of both methods and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is argued that children who study at

home

develop better skills than those who attend

school

. My opinion disagrees with the statement because I believe that the skills developed in an environment where several children gather to learn, builds stronger skills than those who stay at

home

.

This

essay discusses the advantages of both and

further

concludes with my opinion.

Home

schooling is becoming a prominent mode of education these days as compared to the previous times. The major reason being children monitored by parents to ensure they don’t develop traits that would contradict good

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

. Another advantage for little ones to learn at

home

is that they can focus on enhancing skills that their parents think are better for them.

For instance

, some adults would want their

off-spring

the immediate descendants of a person

offspring

to develop reading skills at an early age rather than art and craft.

On the other hand

, teaching at

school

is considered the ‘only way of learning’ for children by many mothers and fathers.

This

has several advantages, a few being, adapting several skills from a very young age, mingling with other children and learning to make valuable relationships, and performing extra-curricular activities on top of essential learning. The Guardian had recently published an article surveying parents of both

children as well as

school

goers; the results showed that about 70% of children going to

school

were found to be more active and excelled in different tasks given to them than those who weren’t. In my opinion, it is always better to send children to

school

rather than them studying at

home

because I believe that a child should be given enough space to explore their capabilities. It is essential for them to meet other students of their age and build social skills, perform various art and craft activities to build creative skills, play with other children to build leadership skills, etc. Bounding them at

home

and giving them a limited environment to explore could result in them building social anxiety and limited skill development.

Moreover

, sometimes children at

home

get neglected because parents don’t find enough time to teach. In conclusion, learning at

school

or at

home

, both have their advantages.

However

, it is seen that the advantages of children going to

school

outweigh those of

children.
