By The Shri Ram School

Picking the right educational medium option for your child is no longer an easy task for parents. Unlike parents of yester years, millennial parents are much more aware and concerned about their kids. Since there are so many options, it is quite obvious to get confused. There are generally three option—Homeschooling, boarding or day schooling, it’s difficult to decide, what is best suited for their child.
Here, we are going to highlight the pros and cons of all three of them and help you conclude, which is best suited for your child.

Homeschooling

This can be a good option to save you from the hyper-competitive and overly-complex admission procedure. The basic concepts behind homeschooling are doing away from the formal school setting and make the child learn in a comparatively familiar environment. You can either do it yourself or appoint a formal tutor to do the task.   In earlier times homeschooling was really popular in the rural areas as the resources for education were limited over there but it has gained quite popularity in urban cities like Delhi and Mumbai as well.
Homeschooling gives your child a familiar environment to learn but it can be physical emotionally and financially daunting task for the parents. Kids also miss the chance of being with kids of same age group; this may lead to a lack of social skills and interaction with other kids

Boarding schools

This is a really good option for those parents who have packed working hours and cannot devote much time to their kids. A boarding school has several advantages such as they give an opportunity to interact with the students of their same age group and that’s how they learn the values of sharing and learning from their counterparts. It can be emotionally daunting for the child in the first few months but after the period of six months they eventually adapt to it. There are several day boarding school in Delhi specifically focus on the overall development of the child and try to make them ace at academics, sports, and extra co-curricular activities all kidst once. The only disadvantage with this module is that kids stay away from their parents for a long time, which may make them detached to the family

Day school for kids

This is one of the oldest modules for education. The quality of education you get in day schooling depend on the kind of school your child is attending. The only problem with this set of the education system is that your child is engaged in multiple environments, which may confuse him or her as some children are not able to strike a balance between home and school. TSRS is considered one of the best schools in Delhi that parents can consider enrolling your child in.
