Teaching Children At Home: Believing they can do it better, parents shun schools.

The article focuses on the issue regarding the education of children at home. It mentions the urge of educational theorist John Holt, author of "Why Children Fail," which claims that parents should keep their children out of school and teach them at home. Holt says that too much teaching is what hinders learning and that teacher takes the fuel that makes the learning engine run. It stresses that more parents are turning to home education due to the reluctance of teachers to accept the responsibility for the failure of students to learn. One advantage that urges parents to teach their children is the freedom to allow them to pursue a subject as long as they remain interested. However, it relates that some parents fear that their children will make fewer friends because they stay at home.
