(HORTATORY 5A-B) Do You Agree Homeschooling or not?

  Text 5A 
     Home schooling is an education system which provides child's main education programme at home. Home schooling takes the place of full-time school attendance and, in the United States and Canada, it usually meets state requirements for compusary education. Although home schooling could achieve the objectives of coompulsory education, there are some points that shouldbe noticed from the home schooling.
     First, the ideas of taking our children's education on home schooling can be a bit intimidating. Sicne our country is so large and the people are from so many different kinds of backgrounds, students need some kind social glue to make them stick together and to give them a sense of unity in spite of all the differences.They will not get such a unity when they are in home schooling. They will get the sense of unity when they are in the compulsary public schools since it is the easiest and best places to make this gllue.
     Then, the home schooling may not be able to prepare children to fit into the mass society, which means, among other things, believing what most people like. Or it may not be able to help children to find a set of values with which they could resist and reject at least many of the values of the mass society.
     Recognizing the lack of home schooling in the case of children's socialization opportunity we should afford them abundant social opportunities. We can have active hoome school support group. We can hold ongoing park days meeting at the zoo, the science museum, book clubs, history clubs, language clubs, home school scouting troops andmany more options to provide them opprtunities to socialize with others.

     If you want to advance in your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about which job to take. Evaluate a job offer for the value it has to your career. It may mean sacrifice at first. you may have to move to a different region or a different country to get a job that is right for you.You may have to work late hours, at least temporally. You might even have to take  lower salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a job if it is not related to your career goals.
     Accepting a job that is not within your career path will not give you the training or experience you need, or want. You will find yourself frustrated in such a position and consequently will not perform your best.This will have an effect on the people around you who will not feel as if you are being part of the team.The best advice is to think carefully before accepting any position and make sure the job is the one you want to have.
