Homeschooling is better than school. Do you agree or disagree?

1In general, most of the children study in public or private school, which is the formal way we gain knowledge from. However, 2otherssome other people assert that homeschooling has more benefits. Although there are discussions on both sides, I strongly disagree that homeschooling is better. 3To begin with, the reasons why people prefer homeschooling consider several benefits. First, 4the schedulethe time schedule is 5more flexible than a school timetablemore flexible than school. Parents can arrange 6lesson timesthe time of learning courses freely without 7athe fixed routine. 8Second, it depends on the children’s interests of what they are passionate to study so they can be more concentrated in the subjects. Third, children do not need to worry about the stress of competition with other students. They can 9study at their own pacefollow and adjust their personal progress to study, thus it is more effective for learning. 10AlthoughDespite I agree with some points above, the drawbacks of home learning far outweigh its advantages. Firstly, children are not likely to learn 11general knowledgethe general knowledge at home if they only focus on certain subjects.
