23、children. Some parents are _45_ with the quality of education in the public schools. Others do not want their children to have to worry about “ peeipressure "or, social pressure from friends. They say it may have a(n) _46_ effect on the child's studies. These parents _47_ this type of press

25、schools every year. _50_, many questions have emerged, encouraging the debate over home schooling against public schooling.What then is the future of education?

How are home schoolers assessed to make sure they are getting the same educational standards that school students must have?Finally, there are questi

27、ons regarding the children's emotional development. Are they too _53_ their fellow students? Are they _54_ the opportunity to get the social benefits of being in a large classroom of students?
