Role of
school
in the development of a child has become debatable.
Although
, it is believed by a few that studying at
home
is better for a child’s evolution, there are others who argue in the favour of attending a regular
school
. In my opinion, going to
school
is important for a child’s all round improvement.
This
essay will discuss both views and elaborate my opinion.
Firstly
, since studying at
home
has certain advantages like saving time and energy and better concentration level of the student, it appears to be a better option for some parents. If a child does not go to
school
a, lot of time, which
otherwise
would have been consumed in transportation is saved.
For instance
, in metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai students spend hours, journeying by local trains, buses and autos and so on just to reach
school
.
Furthermore
, whereas students are taught in medium sized groups at schools, at
are taught individually or at most in a small group of two or three, in case they have a sibling.
This
results in increased attention and
thus
the concentration level of the pupil which is easily disturbed in a classroom setting. For an illustration a class of fifty student it is possible that at least two or three create some disturbance which can hamper the understanding of others by diverting their attention.
Therefore
,
home
teaching has certain advantages in terms of saving the precious time and increasing concentration.
Conversely
, even though going to
school
seems less attractive to some, there are numerous advantages of doing so. By studying in groups children learn how to behave in public and get exposed to different personalities.
For instance
,
school
teaches how to cooperate and adjust with other students like sharing the desk, books or stationary with classmates.
Moreover
,
school
environment
also
makes children learn to compete with others in different spheres like sports, studies and arts, to name but a few.
Thus
, preparing them for the outside world after
school
life. To explain
further
, students work hard and perform their best to achieve top ranks in sports or academics and develop
this
as a habit.
Therefore
,
school
instills qualities required in life later on.
To conclude, in my opinion while studying at
home
may appear more attractive due to few advantages, attending a regular
school
is indispensable for all round progress of a child.
Thus
, the importance of
school
cannot be ignored, making them inevitable.
