This
essay will discuss both views on

options
for
children
growing up in the

and

in the following paragraphs.
Education
is very important for
children
and it is no secret that a big
city
is a
place
that has more
options
for
education
or jobs. The
children
in the
city
have many more opportunities to choose to study in public, private schools or special schools. In India, if a
child
is in a big
city
like Delhi they have more
options
for school, to do sport or learn music.
Also
, there are many international schools.
This
is a reason for some people to think the
city
is good for
children
to grow up. The
countryside
can teach
children
about simple life and there are
education
options
. Small community living will have fewer
options
for a
child
but if a
child
is smart, he can study anywhere or become a success in life even if from a village because more than a
place
it is the
child
who can do it. Vijay Kumar is famous for shooting; he is from a very small village in Himachal Pradesh in India and won five gold medals for shooting in Olympics. In total, all

and some people like cities and some like
