Home schooling is a new educational system that gradually becomes an important role in the world education. Home schooling is different from the traditional compulsory education. People who receive education in home don�t have to go to school and do much invariable homework. Instead, they can distribute their time properly to learn what they are really interested in. Besides, they can learn many things by using good learning tools, such as Internet, library, and so on. Nowadays, as the rate of receiving education in home is rising, it has a big good effect on the modern society, but it also has some problems that we have to face. As more and more people receive this new way of education, we can know that modern people no longer receive the school education or compulsory education only. They can not only try to receive new ideas but also choose the best way that be suitable for us. However, now we discover that one of the most biggest problem in home schooling is that people who receive it will lack the social ability because they always in home and don�t have any chances to contact with other people. But, no matter where you are or what thing you will do, the social ability are very important in this competitive society. But in short, all kinds of education systems have their own disadvantages. I think that the most important thing now is to choose the most suitable education way for us. After all, it will have a big effect on our whole lives.

Home-schooled ones may turn out introverts.
Even otherwise, a blend of both should work better, I think.
The school hours should be reduced to allow them a bit more time
to be on their own.
I wanted my son to learn C language, and he said he can read up on his
own, but I insisted that he go to a class and benefit from the
experience of the teacher.
