From learning the alphabet in kindergarten, to learning algebra in sixth grade, up to calculus your senior year, primary and secondary school make up the basic foundation for a child’s education. With in-person classroom teaching, memories being made with friends, and conversations being built: A traditional classroom setting should be the priority in your kid’s life. The way you set them up from the beginning to the end will show results in the type of colleges and job opportunities they receive at the end of their education, emphasizing the value of education as a building block for their future.. Statistically, the media has displayed evidence claiming that public schooling is more beneficial than homeschooling. As homeschooling involves a closed shelter around a student, it limits their opportunities to prosper. Because of the negative aspects of homeschooling, including restraint conversation, less technology uses, fewer social outreaches, limits student accomplishments.

The way that face to face teaching has improved the education system since the beginning of time is spectacular. It improves  social skills, self-confidence, qualifications, talents, and bravery. With homeschooling, fearlessness does not become an adaptable skill since children  are shielded  by  their  families most of the time. Students will be put in their comfort zone, which is lousy. Since most homeschooling involves people doing it by themselves, or their parents watching over them, they are used to the way things are handled. 

It can be argued that homeschooling can be good, but it consists of a lot of atrocious consequences to your children’s future. It does not let them pursue the kind of studies that they can achieve in other circumstances. The lack of emotional and physical support from other human beings can develop into a terrible overload for a lot of individuals. With the amount of school work, and projects, and essays… having friendships is an essential tool that must be required to have. The tiredness of handling everything by yourself will put more stress towards your mental health and in result will impact your education. We have to look out for all of the possible outcomes of homeschooling and decide what to do from there.
