Part two

Consolidated text

First paragraph: Personal information

Hi everybody, we are Jenny Maritza Cepeda and Alejandra Pinzon.  Ten group.

English course B1.  My name is Jenny Maritza Cepeda; I am twenty seven years. My address is street 25 No. 20-33. Neighborhood Sausalito. My phone number is 3212494512. I work at the White House hotel. My occupation is waitress and am a student of psychology.  My name is Alejandra Pinzon. I am also 27 years old. I live in Inirida. I Work in a multinational I am an assistant

Our theme is: Children should never be educated at home by their parents. Do you agree or disagree?

Second paragraph:  Ideas for our text are: For many children the home environment is better for learning than school. Children's education at home by their parents can deprive children of socializing with their social environment. The cooperation between schools and parents in the education process of children compliments each other such as a team.

Third paragraph: In previous years, parents educated their children during their early years. Most times hired a governess who lived with the family. She taught and instructed children. Later some parent took full responsibility for educating their children at home.  They had to spend more time with their children. Some people disagreed; they went by the argument that parents should not educate their children at home. But others have been considering this model of education completely different and more appropriate than the traditional. They are going to a modern education.  Today there are many studies showing that the family environment is much better than school children's learning. Therefore, this is because there are no better schools compare favorably with a good home. The great advantage that parents should educate their children at home is intimacy, control of your time, schedule flexibility, and the ability to respond to the needs and interests of children. Also gone is the belief that the home should be the appropriate basis for the exploration of the world that has been called the learning and education. But home schooling can deprive children of socializing with their social environment. One issue of concern is the psychological component because the child may feel different from others and can go to an isolation affecting their relationships with others. Moreover, the relationship between school and home is a list of additional resources, without doubt, the family and schools are agents of socialization of the child. The relationships between the family and the school have a common goal, which is the harmonious development of all children and therefore should be a shared task. In addition you have to avoid antagonism or disagreement between parents and schools in educating children.

Fourth paragraph:  Conclusion: We do not agree that children should never be educated at home by their parents because children should be influenced by family and school education. They can not deny the influence of one on the other, so that they are complementary and necessary to form the child. Obviously at home parents give more ethical and religious values that school.

While school gives better pedagogy than family.  Therefore, both must form an alliance.  They have to encourage and promote a social pact between these institutions. Family and school are required to design and implement solidarity in favor of child development strategies. Therefore, parents and teachers should be aware that the education of children is of all and for all so that it satisfactory. They ought to work as a team. As a result I do not agree that children are educated at home by parents.

Fifth paragraph: Therefore, we hope that the above text is of interest for research and reflection about the education of children at home with their parents.

Thank You. Happy day, God bless you.

Yours faithfully,   Jenny Cepeda and Alejandra Pinzon.
