This

essay will

further

discuss both the opinions and give reasons to support the later statement.

, teachers are trained to teach in different ways to avoid repetitive ways that would push off the student's interest towards learning.

On the other hand

, pupils should be given space to implement their learning in a free time. Pupils should know the best ways for using their day's learning, they should try to apply their understanding in real life.

For instance

, during the school activity, if a student has learnt how to calculate the bill amount, he can choose to do more research at home on the internet, or rather go to a store to observe and learn more about the billing process.

This

practise will enable one to achieve a profound knowledge. In conclusion,

although

teachers and parents are constantly engaged to do a lot of things that will be helpful for developing the child's knowledge, they must realise that pupil need to spend their leisure time to implement the knowledge, by choosing their own way of learning.
