In some countries, many people choose to educate children at home by themselves instead of sending them to school. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Home
 education has become a trend in some countries nowadays. It is questionable whether the phenomenon of
parents
 educating their own
children
 at
home
 by themselves has more advantages. In my opinion, I think the pros of
home
 education do not outweigh the cons of it. Even though promoters of
home
 education might claim that the study process could be personalized at
home
 so that
children
 will learn faster, there are much more skills for a kid to learn
besides
 academic knowledge.
Moreover
, whether most
parents
 are qualified to give their
children
 proper and helpful lessons is
also
 questionable.

, a child might have no one but only their

 to socialize with.
This
 might cause a kid to have difficulties interacting with other human beings because they do not give opportunities to do so while growing up.
In addition

Next
, not all

 are qualified to teach their own

. On one hand, they might not acquire enough academic knowledge to teach the pupils.
On the other hand
, sometimes it may be challenging for

 to discipline their own

- when

 tend to play roles of both
parents
 and teachers, it is necessary yet hard to separate their roles. In conclusion, concerning the fact that students might lack social skills and that it is doubtful whether
parents
 are qualified enough for homeschooling their kids, the advantages of
parents
 educating
children
 at
home
 surely do not outweigh the disadvantages.
