In some countries ,there has been an increase in the number of parents who are choosing to educate their children themselves at home instead of sending them to school. Do the advantages of home education outweigh the disadvantages?
A common trend occurring frequently in the modern day is the proliferation of education which is taught by parents. Although many point out that learning at home might help children to have more practical experience, I would argue that the drawbacks for teenagers as a whole overshadow these perceived benefits.

Although family is a great influence in any child's life, it is influence from outside the home that plays a bigger role in his or her development. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
It is undeniable that parents have a huge impact on their own children's development, notwithstanding external effects are often regarded as having a more profound impact in shaping a child's life. While family provides the foundation of their own children's values and behaviours, there are many factors in which social media, peers and education play the main role in their overall personality and life skills. This essay agrees with this idea due to the reason of the pivotal contributions of families and examines how outside overshadows domestic support in many aspects of adolescents' growth.
