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
, the most commonly cited advantage of this
choice is that it allows parents
to save money
because no school
fees are required. Homeschooling advocates also
claim that home-educated children
are less likely to experience bullying and peer pressure compared to their counterparts at school
, both of which can cause emotional and mental problems. Moreover
, some people point to that

parents

at home can tailor their curriculum and pedagogical approaches to best suit their young ones. 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 children
’s curiosity and developing their critical acumen.
On the other hand
, the problems involved in parents
educating their kids at home by themselves are more significant. This

this
does not actually relieve any financial burden. Parents
self-teaching their children
have to spend a large amount of money
on lab equipment and tutors and one parent needs to be cut off to cater for their kids’ needs, be these academic or personal. Furthermore
, most parents
are not well-versed in all school
subjects, hence
difficulties in properly explaining concepts for children
and ultimately academic concerns. Even more vitally, some social problems that children
might be faced with at school
, such
as bullying or having romantic feelings for others, can prepare them for social and workplace situations in the future.
In conclusion, homeschooling theoretically confer
some certain benefits, as an illustration in form of savings in Change the verb form

worse.Change the word
