Home schooling is an alternative method of education for


children at home, typically by their parents but sometimes by a tutor,
with the purpose of developing their learning skills. This new idea of
teaching is growing nowadays most of in the developed countries and
is believed to be a differential improvement in the education.
However, likewise all new ideas which have been manifested during
the history of the educational system, it has been seen by people as
having advantages as well as disadvantages.
It is important to mention that home schooling can provide
children individual attention creating a process of learning much
faster than the one used at regular schools. Another point is that
family relationship helps out the improvement of the student abilities
in absorbing the content of the studies. In the other hand, being
educated at home can bring some wounds hard to be healed.
Not developing sufficient social skills may risk the future of the
child concerning the search for a job in a market so globalized and so
multicultural as it is nowadays. Preparing the student to succeed in
this complex world can be much more difficult than just focusing in
how the learning and teaching skills can be improved.
Adding financial problems, daily stress and usual family issues
may induce, in long-term, a lot of problems that can impact in the
students learning. Gradually, it may be better to gather home
schooling with a school environment in order to provide children all
the good aspects that both can give and maybe that way we can
render a acceptable method for everybody.
