#teachers #students #exchange #school #overweigh
According to some ,teachers all learners should take an exchange program as it would be beneficial for them. From my perspective the advantages of
this
 practice certainly overweigh the
disadvantages
 as in exchange programs
students
 not only would have the possibility to increase their responsibilities but
also
, they can expand their knowledge about other cultures.
However
, the costs for
this
 program and homesickness are the
disadvantages
 that
students
 and parents should consider before enrolling on the program. On the
one
 hand, it's well-known that
one
 of the best ways of expanding the knowledge about another culture is by exchanges, as the majority of them give
students
 the possibility of living in a homestay with another family, where they can practice a new language and try a different type of food and way of living.
Moreover
, as learners will be away from home is assumed that they will learn to improve their responsibility because some chores ,
for instance
, waking up early to go to school, making the bed or doing the laundry, are
one
 of the activities that they will need to do without parents' help.
On the other hand
,
one
 of the main
disadvantages
 of exchanges programs is the costs as it is usually expensive and is not all families can afford them. If just wealthy
students
 can participate in them it would make poor people feel depressed.
Furthermore
, staying away from home at an early age even for a few months can make some
students
 feel homesickness as when they are in a foreign country they need to have a great level of responsibility and maturity to understand another culture. In conclusion, despite the fact
that is
 some drawbacks in exchange programs
such
 as high level of costs and homesickness. I believe that the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages
 as
students
 could develop some skills that would help them for their whole life.
