▶ Your Answer :
Undoubtedly, parents are interested in overall parts of their children. Some people think that parents have a higher level of involvement in the education of their children than before because they may think it makes children study harder. However, I do not agree with the opinion above. This is because education services for students are increasing these days and children can find information by themselves with the help of the Internet. To begin with, a number of educational services for students are growing. There are more educational institutes than before such as private education institutes, online schools and tutoring. They provide a lot of educational information for students that can help them improve their academic performance. Thus, parents do not need to involve as much as they did before. For instance, a few years ago, I needed to ask for my parents to help me study effectively. They made my study plan and chose books. However, now, I can make my study time table with my tutoring teacher and get help from him to prepare examinations. Since he is an educational expert, he can help me better than my parents do. Thus, my parents can have less involvement in my education than before. On top of that, nowadays, students can get information regarding education by themselves on the Internet. There are a lot of information on the internet that can help students. Usually, since this information is very beneficial to students, they do not need to ask for help to their parents anymore. For example, one of my high school friends wanted to be a doctor. She had to ask her parents to get information to be a doctor because she did not have enough information about it. However, after buying a computer, she started to get information from some websites. She said that she found an useful website that offered a lot of information about being a doctor and she could interacted with a few doctors through it to get practical information. To sum up, I believe that parents have a lower level of involvement in the education of their children these days because there are more educational services for students than before and students can get a lot of information from the Internet by themselves. |
