HOMESCHOOLING

BY MARÍA ARIZA, #BTO2A

Homeschooling is getting more and more popular, specially in countries like The United States. This method consists of giving classes at home, without the necessity of going to school, so children are directed at learning by their parents. There are many advantages, but also many disadvantages.

The points in favour could be that students spend more time studying what is worse for them while discovering the areas in which they stand out. Besides, in the northern countries, where the temperatures are very cold, it is an advantage considering that most of days they could not go to school because of the bad weather. 

On the other hand, the main problem is the lack of coexistence with other children. This is vital for learning in an academic atmosphere and in an personal atmosphere. If the guy doesn’t socialize with others, it will affect him in the future. 

To conclude, this type of school won’t have a great success in Spain in my opinion, since we have splendid teachers.
