Question

10．The concept of homeschooling is not a new one．Homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools．Nowadays，homeschooling has become popular in many countries for a variety of reasons．One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it's also because private schools are quite expensive．Some parents believe that because they know their child's strengths and weaknesses，they can teach him or her better．Some parents prefer homeschooling so as to prevent their children from getting into bad company．There is another group of people who choose to educate their children at home because they want them to learn spirit and values of the family and also their religious beliefs．They also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds（家庭紐帶）．
However，homeschooling is to some extent not good for students as well as parents．
Homeschooling is a full-time job and not fit for parents who have their own careers．It takes a lot of time for parents'side to make homeschooling a success．Other family members'responsibilities may also be affected．They may give their full attention to the needs of their children．Besides，a parent may have high educational qualifications，but that does not make him or her a good teacher．Teaching is an art，which requires the ability to understand the needs of the children．It is likely that the parent might have forgotten what he or she has learned，and the curriculum（課程） of the children would also be different．This would make it difficult for the parents to explain the concepts to their children．Parents also have the responsibility of designing the curriculum of students．
In today's world，competition is seen in every field，and school prepares children to face these competitions．However，homeschooling does not give the children a chance to compare with other kids．They will also not be aware of where they stand in educational position among their classmates．This may affect their future lives．Education is not the only thing that the children need to become successful human beings．It is necessary that they learn to communicate in the society，and public school provides them with such an environment，where they meet many people．Schools also provide children with a chance to take part in various activities to improve their overall development．
It is true that it has many benefits，but one must know that school teaches children skills to face and survive．
