Homeschooling
What is homeschooling?
Homeschooling, as you can imagine, is a learning method that little by little is getting more supporters. This method involves children being taught mainly by their parents.
In spite of the fact that this method involves taking much time from parents, more and more people want to teach their children instead of signing up them in a school.
The main advantage of this method is that you can check your child’s (childrens') progress everyday and besides he/she (they) can learn at their own pace.
On the other side of the coin, many experts point out that homeschooling has some drawbacks, and they claim that this method is not appropriate for children because there are some questions which have no answer so far.
Who certifies that a kid has gotten to a certain level? Are parents good enough to teach specific subjects?
In addition, we have to keep in mind that the lack of interaction with other kids may lead on to an underdevelopment of their social skills as well as team work.
Personally, I wouldn’t say homeschooling is the right method. Obviously I am also against those old fashion rote learning methods where you were obliged to learn things by heart, however, I support those methods which create individuals with a desire of learning so that the acquisition of knowledge be something that the pupil looks for.
Besides, it is important that pupils develop their communication skills and team work in order to instill some essential values which unfortunately nowadays are vanishing in our society.
