International school vs a regular school? CBSE school vs a state board school? The questions are never-ending. School education is the most important gift you can bestow upon your children. Some children are naturally talented in numbers and might choose a career in which math plays an important role, like astronomy or physics; some children would be good orators, and a career in politics or some other leadership role would be the best fit for them. No matter what a child’s interest is, if they were not given a proper nurturing environment to thrive, their innate abilities would most likely atrophy, and they might lead an unfulfilled life of mediocrity, not having experienced the true magnitude of potentials and the fruits they would have otherwise borne.
Importance of Schools
So why do schools play such an important role?
The first thing is that children get a quality education. It doesn’t matter if the parents possess incredible skills and knowledge; teaching children even something as elementary as the ABCDs is a monumental task. And schools contain people who have just that noble ability to reach the children on their level and make them learn.
Socializing is yet another advantage of sending children to schools. Even if parents succeed at homeschooling their child–and do a remarkable job at that–they still could not teach children to socialize. The very absence of a vast pool of other children for your child to pick his/her friends from makes them anxious or shy when they grow up and need to mingle with people. Humans are social animals, and depriving a child of that is not only unnatural but counterproductive.
Getting into college is not an easy task. A child must perform well in education, and for that, they need a structured progression which schools are much better equipped than the parents to provide. In many countries, a school mark sheet is mandatory to get into colleges.
Things like morality and empathy can be learned much better at schools. It is possible to teach children the concept of morals, good conduct, and perspectives through words, but it is nigh impossible to make them experience all these firsthand. School education provides the grounds for children to learn these things themselves. They share, they care, they love, and they get hurt. All these things make them develop into wise humans.
