play truant, violence is prevalent, children are bullied and the quality of

However, there are pros and cons of home schooling.

Children who are home schooled can avoid many problems. For examples,
children can study without fearing other students or teachers. It means that
they are under their parents' supervision. Home schooling allows children to
study at their own ability and speed. If a child is weak at math, a home
schooling teacher can more focus on that lesson or skill. Another advantages is
that home schooling keeps children on learning. There are many students in
school do not appreciate their teacher. By home schooling, students can value
learning.

However, home schooling also have disadvantages. First, home schooled
children are usually less socialized. Traditional schools are places where students
learn to interact with others and build social skills. On the other hand, home
schooled children just interact with
their teacher. They do not know working together or solving problem
in a group. Second, sometimes home schooling has different
esucational plan. Therefore parents must choose the qualified
perrson as the teacher, so that the children get the proper curriculum.

There are many advantages and disadvantages of home schooling. Therefore

parents must make sure the children ability and teachers' quality before they
