Home and school education The way that children get their education is not the same in different countries and cultures, and have been changed many times during the centuries. There is no one answer yet, what type of education is the best for children development and it's possibly depending on many reasons. Nowadays the main stream in western countries is the school education. It has many advantages. First of all, today there is a huge variety of schools and parents can choose one most appropriate for their child, according to his IQ, religion, interests and more. There real disciplines and art schools, religious and alternative method schools, schools that pay special attention to foreign languages or sports and etc. So everyone can choose very special, almost personal school education that he likes. Next, the participation of child in collective activities, such as school lessons, develop not only his cognitive, but also his social skills. He study to work in a group, to contact with different people, to talk to the audience, to learn the models of behavior with friends and teachers, with younger and older children. The school as a small model of the whole society teaches the child and prepares him for the real word. I think that the school education is also cheaper than study at home, because there is less need for private teachers, books and other stuff. I can suggest that home education is more qualified, the child gets all the attention of his teacher, he studies in his favor environment, in his own pace. He chooses by himself his favorite subjects and can spent more time studying them. But on the contrary of the school education, studying at home, the child can suffer from a lack of companionship, he can stay shy and lonely even in his future life. For my opinion, the school education gives the child more opportunities to discover the world, to study the different aspects of life and to develop a whole personality.
