Many people say that examinations should be abolished
because they are not the best measure of student’s capabilities.
These people believe that students can study on their own and do
better without the nagging worry and pressure exerted by
examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations
should not be abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign
homework and correct it. Because this is not done under
supervision, they cannot be sure that it is really the work of the
students themselves. Moreover, homework is not a test of student’s
ability. Homework is a method of merely keeping him occupied.
Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce
some evidence of their capabilities. Prospective employers like to
see copies of examination results. This is the only way a student’s
qualifications can be judged. This attitude greatly encourages the
use of examinations, since it is considered it necessary for them to
measure their capabilities.

What do you think about home schooling? Do you think it's a
good idea concerning socialization and all? Believed to be first
introduced in the U.S. decades ago, home schooling is now
mushrooming in the country. This phenomenon seems to be in
response to the fact that children's rights are sidelined in the arena

can be inefficient and expensive. Students’ social life is, indeed,
something to be concerned about in home schooling education.

schooled students active participants in the social, athletic, and
extracurricular life of the school.
