Some people believe that teaching children at home is best for a child's development while others think that it is important for children to go to school.

There is an controversial issue about children's education in society which some people consider that the most effective way for children to study is to be taught by personal teacher at home whereas others are thoroughly against it. As far as I am concerned, to youths studying with their peers in the classroom has a lot more advantages from doing at home on their own. 

The first point to be taken into consideration when discussing about this is that human being is a social animal. We need to socialize and collaborate with one another to keep up with society. Learning this skill in early age is absolutely crucial. If a child studies alone at home and get taught by their private tutor, they are more likely to gain better knowledge as the tutor focuses only on them. Having said that, when it comes to time to work, the only thing most employers seek from a new employee is that how they work as a team member, not how they perform a given task on their own. 

The second point against not going to school is that it would encourage children to grow up becoming selfish and self-centered. We are not only talking about educating a child, but also preparing a right person in our society. One clear example is that how only child and those with siblings grow up differently. Those with brothers and sisters are able to easily interact with others while only child tends to be withdrawn. 

In conclusion, teaching a child at home might be good for their knowledge. It could, however, cause damage for children's ability to communicate with society, which may result them raising entirely egocentric. Therefore, when making a decision about this, we should take into account other possible consequences as I mentioned above.
