Several years ago I happened to read a book about Electronics, and I took a course related on the subject, finally and I made electronic gadgets for where I have worked. Then I decided to study Electronics at college. Unfortunately the nearest I could get was in Physics with Electronics as the main subject, hence I was qualified in Physics. The lecturers were terribly out of date, and I with a friend of college mate spent a lot of time instructing the lecturers.
We had learned modern stuff from books and practical use. It says “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.” What this means is that lecturers sat through lectures and passed exams. They go on teaching of what they learned in these lectures – which, I said, is already out of date. That’s the first benefit of home study.
Now, let’s find out three advantages of classroom study
1. You can get recognized certificates when you pass exams
2. You can get a useful plan for what to study
3. Facilities for practical work
Here, you’ll notice that though I had learned more from courses at my home study, I still did a four-year course at college. If I didn’t, I couldn’t get exam certificates from related courses. That was the main benefit.
Other thing to consider the better function of school studies is when you want to study genetics and you don’t even know what a gene is, you obviously don’t know enough to plan a syllabus for your home study. Therefore, consulting to a lecturer would help you a lot.
There are apparently still more of benefits you could get from studying at school. More than we could discuss on this article.
Classroom study can orfer us a good environment.
It is true that there are a lot of benefits from school study. However there are a lot of things that you can only get from home study – such as more flexibility and less direction. You can through yourself into learning about whatever interesting thing/area you want to. At school I was much more restricted. I would have liked the teachers to have said, "in this broad area (eg. Ancient Rome) pick something that interests you and study it in depth".
