Education:
Some people think that children should be homeschooled when they are very young while others think it is better for them to attend a kindergarten. Which do you think is better?
Certain individuals believe that children should be educated at home from an early age whereas others consider enrolling them into a pre-school. In my view, I think that small children should attend a daycare centre. Firstly this essay will discuss the main benefit of being homeschooled and secondly, discuss the value of children attending a preschool.
On the one hand, homeschooling is an option for parents to introduce education to their sons and daughters at an early age. This is done in the convenience of their own home thus can save time, energy and money that is often used when attending a normal school setting. In addition, this practice can be very effective because the attention is focused on one individual or a small group if they have siblings. This can allow the parents to teach a wide range of subjects to their child, which may be more advanced than the preschool program. For example, DEPED in the Philippines in 2017 reported that 89% of parents in the survey would choose to homeschool their children.
On the other hand, a child is like a sponge at an early age, they easily absorb information and enrolling them into a pre-school can help them to learn, not only the basics but how to form social relationships. Exposing them to other children the same age can teach them how to mingle and how to form bonds. Pre-school teaches them not only how to read or write the alphabet but how to have a routine, which can teach them to become responsible. For instance, the BBC news reported in 2016 that pre-school children in the UK learn everyday tasks, like cleaning up after themselves, how to tie shoelaces and social manners.
In my opinion, I believe that although homeschooling is effective I still consider pre-school to be more beneficial. This practice can expose children to other children, which is an important part of their development as humans. Furthermore, it also teaches them the value of responsibility which is a great foundation for moulding them into a responsible human being. For instance, an article in Family Matters magazine in 2016 reported that children who underwent pre-schooling were more focused and were eager to learn new skills versus children who were homeschooled.
In conclusion, even though homeschooling can have benefits, it is far greater for children to attend preschool, so they can interact with their peers and learn how to have a daily routine.
