Parents are willing to invest in their children and can provide targeted provision that prioritises the learning needs of those individuals. Therefore, specific textbooks that are tailored to the childs mode of learning can be purchas
17、ed. Classroom-based education must, by necessity, cater for the needs of the group as a whole which leaves those the very bright unchallenged and those with special needs falling behind and unsupported. The authorities often take years to recognise the needs of students and they lose years of educat

Yet, they have started a debate on whether the classes should be compulsory for all parents. Some people believe that it would be a good option to offer parenting classes so as t

In my view, if possible, parenting classes funded by the government should be available for all. Firstly, parenting classes can offer necessary help to parents on bringing up children
34、in the early years. Studies have shown that parenting has a bigger influence on a childs life chances in the early years than education in class.

First, it is unethical to conserve less developed societies, because this will deny people within those regions the benefits of technological and medical advances enjoyed by those in the developed world. In the same manner that taking poverty in underdeveloped nations as cultural diversity is inhumane.
