In Britain some families feel that learning at home is better than going to
school. Home schooled children can
choose when they want to learn. Does this
sound more enjoyable than school?
Andrian is a science
prodigy,
and he wants to start university by the age of
fourteen. He finds school lessons easier than the ones he expects but making
friends is more difficult. At home he can spend more time on his favourite subjects
and is preparing to take many of his exams earl
y. Does he ever take a break?
“Yes”, he says “I don't study subjects I'm not interested in.”
Holly's parents weren't happy with the local school. So they made a decision
to teach her at home. Her favourite is
history,
and she often goes to museums to
study
. “I couldn't do that before”, she says. “This is more interesting than school
was”. Her parents are always happy to help her.
Andrian and Holly love learning at home, but some people think that
studying at school is more useful because it trains you for a
dult life. It teaches you
to be with people you don't like, but it can also help you to make friends. Are these
things more important than lessons? What do you think?
