Public Schools
Home Schools vs. Public Schools have always been a topic of great debate which
seems to grow by the passage of time. Public schools are free of cost and they are easily
accessible. The easy accessibility of the public schools, easy transportation facilities makes it a
choice for a large number of parents (Brown 2019). However, the absence of a strong teaching
infrastructure is the biggest fault of these schools. The gifted students and the weak students
often gets neglected which shows the faulty educational side of these schools.
Home Schools
On the other hand, homeschooling forms a nice option for many parents where the
children are taught by teachers under the supervision of the parents (Norman 2019). Though the
children will be better educated and taken care of in a good manner, the absence of other students
can be a problem as the child will lose the capability to communicate and socialize with the
others.
