Traditional School VS Home Education Education is changing every day. Recently, we can note a big rise in parents that prefer teaching children at home instead of sending them to school.

On the one hand we have the “specific knowledge”, it is the first thing that comes to our mind when we hear “school education”. I am talking about the knowledge in math, science, history, geography, etc. And on the other hand we have the “social education”. Therefore, when a kid goes to school, he is not just learning how to sum and divide; he is also learning how to interact with other people.
