Some people argue that it is good for children to stay away from their families and go to a boarding school. Other suggest that children live with their families and attend a day school. What is your opinion?
There are two main types of
schools
which are boarding schools
and day
schools
. Both of these have their own advantages and disadvantages which I will discuss. I will also
give my opinion on which type of academy is better.
Boarding schools
are schools
where students
reside during the semester. This
has the advantage that the parents
are less worried than parents
of students
in day
schools
. Parents
of students
in boarding school
can and will still be worried about their kids as they won't see their child but because the campus provides needs for kids such
as food, medicine and shelter parents
are less worried when it comes to financial problems. For
instance
, a student
and his family can save some money by getting the student
to attend a boarding school
. The disadvantage is that students
will probably have a tight schedule with academic classes at school
even though the remaining can be used at the student
's discretion. Students
will need to manage their time socialising with school
friends, doing homework, taking some personal time and staying in touch with friends and family back home. For
instance
, a student
can do terribly on an exam because of the stress received by having to FaceTime their parents
.
Day
schools
are schools
open for instruction on weekdays only, usually from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. The advantage is that there is effective and rapid response to emergencies for students
that attend day
schools
. It is natural to human beings that in life, there must be some occasions of unprepared happenings. For
instance
, if a student
can accidentally crack his head open, day
schools
would be able to treat the wound faster than boarding schools
. The disadvantage, however
, is that day
schools
tend to have more children per class than boarding schools
and therefore
individual attention to a student
becomes difficult. For
instance
, teachers have to give an equal amount of attention to each student
.
In conclusion, there are many arguments for why it is good and bad to be in each school
but day
schools
have stronger arguments for themselves.Submitted by siryuy on
