There are many families who give education to their children at home . As there are many advantages of homeschooling:
If you ask my opinion I would say homeschooling is not a good option. Because for every child school life is very important. Guiding at home may lack in developing good speaking skills. It is not possible for every parent to give their all time in their study. Parents also have to face the wrath of those who do not support homeschooling.
Being a school girl. I think school is very important. Because in school we make friends, there are professional teachers for each subject, many facilities like chemistry, physics lab, Ground for outdoor activities. School also organises functions, celebrate festival, and assemblies where students participate which develop confidence and speaking skills in them. They get freedom. And the main disadvantage of homeschooling is parents have to do a lot of struggle for colleges.
