Some parents think that they can teach their children at home rather than sending to the school. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

讨论家长可以在家教育孩子而不是送他们去学校，这件事情的好处和坏处。

范文

    In contemporary society, due to the easier access to learning and teaching resources, as well as the higher level of education possessed by parents, some of them contend that their children can be better educated at home than at school. From my perspective, such practice exerts more negative impacts on children’s development both in academic attainment and social skills.

The most distinct demerit is that children who receive education at home may fail to have the comprehensive coverage of knowledge. It is ubiquitous that not all parents are generalists although parts of them are granted with Bachelor or even Master Degree. In contrast, teachers at school specialize in different domains; for example, arts teachers gain expertise at literature, history and language while science teachers at physics, chemistry and.mathematics Apparently, learners can be imparted with professional theories or guidance via attending board curricula. What’s worse, it is conceivable that some parents lack teaching strategies and methodology. Unlike them, through years of teaching practice and training, teachers are equipped with the ability to explain complicated equations, illustrate the theme of poetry and the aesthetic value of art works in a simple and understandable way. In this scenario, students’ learning efficiency can be boosted dramatically.

Apart from these, another underlying downside is the scarcity of interaction with peers. Human beings are social animals and children are no exceptions. At school, they are encouraged and required to engage in abundant sports or outdoor activities, communicating and sharing happiness and sorrows with classmates or friends. During this process, they have learnt how to be acceptable and accountable for their behaviors in a community. Conversely, fewer opportunities are provided for them to be in company of others who are at the same age if they are taught at home.

On the flip side, we cannot deny the fact that self-paced learning offers students conveniences and flexibility. To be specific, gifted students are allowed to study subjects ahead of their level and accomplish their compulsory education in a shorter period, instead of being restricted by the routine steps of school education.

In conclusion, even though teaching children at home is geared to talented students’ needs and capabilities, I still believe that formal education at school cannot be substituted for its purpose for cultivating children to be well-rounded individuals.
