Due to the rapid development in technology, within the next few decades students will be able to studying at home instead of attending school. In fact, this new method of studying is using by several universities. However, I believe students should attend to school instead of home schooling. It is largely because students learn not only learn knowledge, but they also learn other things such as communication skill and group work.
To begin with, students learn how to communicate with the others. At the traditional school, students get some time to break or play. During this time, students communicate each other and become friends. Friends talk about several issues, like their daily or even about current issues of society. Talking about the several issues would lead them to learn how to express their thought and seduce others. Moreover, good firends can help each other in their studying. For instance, during my high school years, I and my friends used to give lectures to supplement each others weeknesses. This helped us a lot in study since both sides, a person who teach and learn were advantageous. In addition, we see those friendship never last as long as they remember each other. When we face the challenge, I can ask for my friends' help.
Secondly, a school's curriculum also teaches about group working. In my high school, students were given at least two or three group assignments and several group activities. Teachers were expected students to divide the work and help each other to come out with good results. In fact, I had several times due to those free loaders in my group. We tried to talk with them and sometimes succeed to do their part, but sometimes failed. Throughout those works, I learn about responsiblity, leadership, and how to harmonize with the others. I'm sure this would help in my future career when I become part of the society.
Stuying at home might be advantageous to students. However, to do that students have to give up on their opportunity to learn together. By losing this opportunity, they would also be disadvantageous since they would not learn how to communicate and perform task with others. Therefore, I firmly believe that students should attend to traditional school instead of stuyding at home. |
