Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact,
the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being
homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the
ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every
year. At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however,
more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their
dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as
problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one
teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention
they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children
from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has
become a multimillion dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of
websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to
learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children,
homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing.

home”.
A. taught B. self-learned C. untaught D. self-studied

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a
career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the
time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a
stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right
one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live.
Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to
begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and
surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel ?
Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” There are
no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you.
Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you
cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you. The setting of the job is one factor to take
into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building
inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office.
Geographical location ________may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in
certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many
industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a
high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance
sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your
experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or
negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber
does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or
demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps,
whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you get
mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities.
The choice you make today need not be your final one.
