In some countries, parents are choosing to teach children themselves at home instead of sending them to school. Do the advantages of homeschooling outweigh the disadvantages?

Opinions are divided on whether homeschooling is beneficial or harmful. I personally think that
this

educational route, albeit having some perks, is not suitable for most families due to some of its drawbacks. Admittedly, the benefits of homeschooling have been evident.
Firstly
Linking Words
, the most commonly cited advantage of

choice is that it allows

claim that home-educated
children

are less likely to experience bullying and peer pressure compared to their counterparts at

, both of which can cause emotional and mental problems.
Moreover

, some people point to

This

is not often the case in traditional schooling because of the large class size. More importantly, home-based learning focuses on genuinely mastering concepts rather than memorising facts to pass exams, thereby piquing

On the other hand

educating their kids at home by themselves are more significant.
